History

Bleeding Gums Murphy sung it once. He managed to draw the first stanza of the song out for 25 minutes.^[1]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh, say can you, I'm askin', can you seeeeee

by the dawn's...

...And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting - shoot 'em off! poppin' way up in the air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

...and the home of the brave?

O'er the land of the free,

And the home... home of the bra-ve.

Oh, America's the home of the bra-ave,

American the brave, the brave!

Homer of the bra-ave!
