“The Bonnie Blue Flag” was a popular Southern marching song during the American Civil War. The title referred to the Bonnie Blue flag, a banner associated at different points in history with the Republic of Texas, the Republic of West Florida, and eventually the Southern states in the American Civil War.
The song’s melody was taken from “The Irish Jaunting Car,” an Irish folk song that was popular among the Irish diaspora in the United States. During the war, Union versions also emerged, such as the “Song of the Irish Volunteers” and other versions that described the flag of the United States instead of the Bonnie Blue flag.
