I listened to this song like ten times to understand and write down the words. I have not been able to find them online anywhere either. There are still a few words that I cannot understand! But here is what I have.

* The old red white and blue

There’s a dear old flag floating over land and sea
And beneath its folds all men alike are free
Tis the emblem of our righteous liberty
The old red white and blue

Beautiful banner bright
Emblem of peace and right.
No foe shall mar our stripe or star (Wave on!)
Flag of the brave and free
Honor we give to thee
The old red white and blue

In its glory long for a hundred years and more
It has *** the sea and floated on the shore
And it stands on guard at freedoms open door
The old red white and blue

It is **** by the blood our fathers gave
And it led the way our brotherhood to save
With a blood or stain it shall forever wave
The old red white and blue

Let me know if you know the words that I am missing!

Thank you for the lyrics to the OldRed white and Blue.
I was able to fill in the blanks.

There’s a dear old flag floating over land and sea
And beneath its folds all men alike are free
Tis the emblem of a righteous liberty
The old red, white, and blue

Beautiful banner bright
Emblem of peace and right
No foe shall mar our stripes or stars. Wave on!
Flag of the brave and free honor we give to thee
The old red, white, and blue

In it’s glory long for a hundred years and more
It has kissed the sea and floated on the shore
And it stands on guard at freedoms open door
The old red, white, and blue

It is hallowed to by the blood our fathers gave
And it led the way our brotherhood to save
With a blood or stain it shall forever wave
The old red, white, and blue

My daughter loves this song too. I am glad I found this forum.

I believe lici has the words correct except for the third line of the chorus. I too listened to a recording many, many times to get the words and could not understand this line but found someone who knew the song and their words seem to fit what I hear on the recording. I think the third line is: "No fault shall mar (no fault shall mar), our stripe or star (Wave on!)" Words in parenthesis performed as an echo. Kids at my school love it also.
