Oo-o say can you see,
by the dawn's ear -ly light.
Who so proud-ly we hailed
at the twi-light's last gleam-ing,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Through the per-il-ous fight,
O'er the ram- parts we watched,
were so gal-lant-ly stream-ing.
And the rock-ets' red glare,
the bombs burst-ing in air,
Gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
O say does th-at star -span -gled
ban-ne-r yet wa-ve.
O'er the la-nd of the free
and the home of the brave.
