Red White and Blue

Loretta Lynn · When the Tingle Becomes a Chill [1976]

I'm red, white and blue

And proud of it too.



The red comes from my grandpa

He's an all American brave

The white comes from my grandma

She's a red headed Irish maid.



The blue comes from the man I love

Came the day before I said I do

That leaves me a mixed up breed of

Red, white and blue.



I'm red, white and blue

And proud of it too.



I'm a blue eyed indian squaw

Everybody calls me a halfbreed

That's what you get when you

Sew a little red and white sting.



The white man said he'd marry me

He likes being called Baby Doo

That leaves me a mixed breed of

Red, white and blue.



I'm red, white and blue

And proud of it too.



The great white fathers had it planed

To take the red mans land

I think you think I'm prejudice

But I'd never lie to you.



There's raw red blood

Running through my veins

And I wish my skin was too

I wish my skin was too.



I'm red, white and blue.

I'm red, white and blue.

I'm red, white and blue.

I'm red, white and blue...
