We’ll Put Another Star in the Star Spangled Banner Verse: A lover sighed to his pretty bride, “I was dreaming of you last night. Our home I could see, with our babe at your knee In the fire flame’s dancing light. When a distant drum seemed to bid me come, For my country dear to fight, Then sweet liberty appeared to me, And sand with all her might.” Refrain: We’ll put another star in the Star Spangled Banner, The star of peace so fair. Then with arms and soldiers true, and with coast defenses too, We will keep that star right there. From ‘Frisco ‘cross to Maine and then right back again, To sing we’ll never cease. We’ll put another star in the Star Spangled Banner, The golden star of peace. Verse: The pretty bride with a sigh replied, “We’ve been happy both night and day, But my heart is true, to Red, White and Blue, There’s no land like the U.S.A. And this I know if the drums said ‘go,’ Ev’ry hour I’d pray for you. But no war could last, T’would soon be past, If this your dream comes t
