The Bonnie Blue Flag is a marching song from 1861 associated with the Confederate States. The melody was taken from the song The Irish Jaunting Car. The song's title refers to the unofficial first flag of the Confederacy, the Bonnie Blue Flag.
The song was premiered by lyricist Harry McCarthy during a concert in Jackson, Mississippi, in the spring of 1861 and performed again in September of that same year at the New Orleans Academy of Music for the First Texas Volunteer Infantry regiment mustering in celebration.
The New Orleans music publishing house of A.E. Blackmar issued six editions of The Bonnie Blue Flag between 1861 and 1864 along with three additional arrangements.
