  • We'll Never Let Our Old Flag Fall is a World War I song written by Albert E. MacNutt and composed by M. F. Kelly. The song was first published in 1915 by Chappell & Co., in New York, NY. The sheet music cover was illustrated by Starmer and features words with an eagle on a shield.
    Lyrics:
    Britain's flag has always stood for
    justice. Britain's hope has always
    been for peace. Britain's foes have
    known that they could trust us to do
    our best to make the cannons cease.
    Britain's blood will never stand for
    insult. Britain's sons will rally at her
    call. Britain's pride will never let her
    exult, but we'll never let the old flag
    fall.
    We'll never let the old flag fall, for
    we love it best of all. We don't want
    to fight to show our might, but
    when we start, we'll fight, fight, fight.
    In peace or war you'll hear us
    sing, "God save the flag, God save
    the King!" At the ends of the
    world, the flag's unfurl'd. We'll
    never the let the old flag fall.
    Britain's sons have always call'd her Mother.
    Britain's sons have always lov'd her best.
    Britain's sons would die to show they love her,
    the dear old Flag laid on each manly breast.
    Britain's ships have always rul'd the ocean.
    Britain's sons will serve her one and all.
    Britain's sons will show their true devotion
    And we'll never let the old flag fall.
    We'll never let the old flag fall, for
    we love it best of all. We don't want
    to fight to show our might, but
    when we start, we'll fight, fight,
    fight. In peace or war you'll hear us
    sing, "God save the flag, God save
    the King!" At the ends of the
    world, the flag's unfurl'd. We'll
    never the let the old flag fall.
