2. My native country thee, land of the noble free, thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills, thy woods and templed hills, my heart with rapture thrills like that above.

3. Let music swell the breeze and ring from all the trees, sweet freedom`s song. Let mortal tongues awake; let all that breathe partake; let rocks their silence break, the sound prolong.

4. Our father`s god, to thee, author of liberty, to thee we sing. long may our land be bright with freedoms holy light;protect us by thy might, great God, our king.

B) AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL

1. O beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain. America, America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

2. O beautiful for Pilgrim feet whose stern impassion`d stress a thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilderness.America, America! God mend thine ev`ry flaw. Confirm`d thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law.

3. O beautiful for heroes prov`d in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life. America, America! May God thy gold refine, till all success be nobleness, and ev`ry gain divine.

4. O beautiful for patriot dream, that sees beyond the years. Thine alabaster cities gleam undimmed by human tears. America, America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.

C) AN AMERICAN TRILOGY

Oh I wish I was in the land of cotton Old things they are not forgotten. Look away, look away, look away Dixieland. Oh I wish I was in Dixie, away, away. In Dixieland I take my stand to live and die in Dixie Cause Dixieland, that’s where I was born. Early Lord one frosty morning

D) BATTLE HYMN OF THE REPUBLIC

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, he is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. He has loos`d the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword, his truth is marching on.

Glory, glory hallelujah! Glory, glory hallelujah!

Glory, glory hallelujah! His truth is marching on.

2. I have seen him in the watch fires of a hundred circling camps, they have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps. I can read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps, his day is marching on.

3. I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel, as ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal. Let the hero born of woman crush the serpent with His heel, since God is marching on.

4. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat, He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgement seat. Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant, my feet! Our God is marching on.

5. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, with a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me. As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, while God is marching on.

E) GOD BLESS AMERICA

God bless America, land that I love Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with the light from above From the mountains To the prairies, To the ocean white with foam God bless America, My home sweet home.

F) GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I worked for all my life
And I had to start again
With just my children and my wife

I thank my lucky stars
To be living here today
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can't take that away

And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to L.A.
Where's pride in every American heart
And it's time we stand and say

G) HOME ON THE RANGE

1. Oh, give me my home, where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

R: Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.

2. How often at night, when the heavens are bright, with the light from the glittering stars, have I stood there amazed, and asked as I gazed, if their glory exceeds that of ours.

3. Where the air is so pure, and the zephyrs so free, and the breezes so balmy and light, that I would not exchange my home on the range,

H) I'M A YANKEE DOODLE DANDY
I’m a Yankee Doodle Dandy. A Yankee Doodle, do or die. A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam. Born on the Fourth of July. I’ve got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart. She’s my Yankee Doodle joy. Yankee Doodle came to London Just to ride the ponies.I am the Yankee Doodle Boy

I)  GRAND OE FLAG

You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love.

The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue,
Where there's never a boast or brag.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag
And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave.

Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there's never a boast or brag. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.

J) STAR SPANGLED BANNER (Francis Scott Key)

1. O! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming: Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, o'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O! say, does that Star-spangled Banner still wave ---o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

K) STARS & STRIPES FOREVER

Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever, The gem of the land and the sea,
The banner of the right. Let despots remember the day When our fathers with mighty endeavor Proclaimed as they marched to the fray That by their might and by their right it waves forever.

2. On the shore, dimly seen, through the mists of the deep where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes. What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, as it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, in full glory reflected, now shines on the stream. 'Tis the Star-spangled Banner, O! long may it wave -o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

3. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore that the havoc of war and the battle's confusion, a home and a country should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could save, the hireling and slave. From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave! And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph doth wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

4. O! thus be it ever when free men shall stand between their loved homes and the foe's desolation. Bless'd with victory and peace, may our Heaven-rescued land praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, for our cause it is just, and this be our motto -- "In God is our trust!" And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

F) THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND (Arlo Guthrie)

This land is your land, this land is my land from California, to the New York Island, from the redwood forests, to the Gulfstream waters, this land was made for you and me.

1. As I went walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway, I saw below me that golden valley, this land was made for you and me.

2. I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps

to the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts, and all around me a voice was sounding, this land was made for you and me.

3. When the sun comes shining and I was strolling,

and the wheat-fields waving, and the dustclouds rolling, a voice was chanting and a fog was lifting,

this land was made for you and me.

I) U.S. AIRFORCE ANTHEM

1. Off we go into the wild blue yonder, climbing high into the sun. Here they come, zooming to meet our thunder, at'em boys giv'er the gun.Down we dive spouting our flames from under, off with one hell-uv-a-roar! e live in fame, or go down in flames, nothing can stop the U.S. Air Force!

2. Minds of men fashioned a crate of thunder, sent it high into the blue. Hands of men blasted the world asunder, how they lived God only knew! Souls of men, dreaming of skies to conquer, gave us wings ever to soar. With scouts before and bombers galore, nothing can stop the U.S.Air Force.

J) U.S. ARMY ANTHEM(THE CAISSONS GO ROLLING ALONG)

1. Over hill, over dale, as we hit the dusty trail, and those Caissons go rolling along. In and out, hear them shout, Counter march and right about, and those Caissons go rolling along.

R: Then it`s hi ! hi ! hee ! in the field artillery, shout out your numbers loud and strong. For where`er you go, you will always know, that those Caissons go rolling along.

In the storm, in the night, action left or action right, see those Caissons go rolling along. country's battles, in the air, on land and sea. First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean, we are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.

2. Our Flag's unfulr'd to every breeze, from dawn to setting sun. We have fought in every clime and place, where we could take a gun. In the snow of far-off northern lands, and in sunny tropic scenes, you will find us always on the job, the Unites States Marines.

3. Here's health to you and to our Corps, which we are proud to serve. In many a strife we've fought for life, and never lost our nerve. If the Army and the Navy, ever look on Heaven's scenes,

they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines!

Limber front, limber rear, prepare to mount your cannoneer and those Caissons go rolling along.

2. Was it high, was it low, where the hell did that one go? as those Caissons go rolling along. Was it left, was it right, now we won't get home tonight, and those Caissons go rolling along.

and those Caissons are rolling along.3x

K) U.S. MARINE HYMN (From the Halls of Montezuma)

From the Halls of Montezuma
To the Shores of Tripoli;
We fight our country's battles
In the air, on land and sea;
First to fight for right and freedom
And to keep our honor clean;
We are proud to claim the title
of United States Marine.

Our flag's unfurled to every breeze
From dawn to setting sun;
We have fought in ev'ry clime and place
Where we could take a gun;
In the snow of far-off Northern lands
And in sunny tropic scenes;
You will find us always on the job--
The United States Marines.

Here's health to you and to our Corps
Which we are proud to serve
In many a strife we've fought for life
And never lost our nerve;
If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

When Johnny comes marching home again, Hurrah, hurrah! We'll give him a hearty welcome then, Hurrah, hurrah! The men will cheer, the boys will shout,
The ladies they will all turn out, And we'll all feel gay, when Johnny comes marching home. The old church bell will peal with joy, Hurrah, hurrah!

To welcome home our darling boy, Hurrah, hurrah! The village lads and lassies say,With roses they will strew the way, And we'll all feel gay, when Johnny comes marching home.. Get ready for the Jubilee, Hurrah, hurrah! We'll give the hero three times three, Hurrah, hurrah!

The laurel wreath is ready now, To place upon his loyal brow, And we'll all feel gay, when Johnny comes marching home. Let love and friendship on that day, Hurrah, hurrah!

Their choicest treasures then display, Hurrah, hurrah!

And let each one perform some part, To fill with joy the warrior's heart, And we'll all feel gay, when Johnny comes marching home.

I) AMERICAN PIE

[Verse 1]

A long, long time ago...

I can still remember

How that music used to make me smile

And I knew if I had my chance
