The Finest Flag That Flies is a World War I song written by Joseph H. Hughes and composed by Harry Richardson. The song was self-published in 1914 by Joseph H. Hughes in Saginaw, MI. Two years after the song was first published the lyrics to the opening lines of the second verse were completely rewritten to reflect the American public's growing concern with World War I and growing anti-German feeling. The 1914 version was "There's things I saw so strange to me while I was o'er the sea--Drank beer in dear old Germany." In 1916 the words were changed to "There may be lands across the sea that have their flags so rare, But no flag e'er appealed to me."
