I have never learned "Lift Every Voice and Sing" (My mom bought me the sheet music but I never liked the melody and never went to many events were it was sung.)
But I do know the national anthem (and when I was little I did harass my mom into getting me a copy of all four stanzas!) Although I dont' think we should have to sing them all...they are kinda uh-interesting as someone previously said.
I do know the Battle Hymn of the Republic (first stanza)
I can also sing:
Most of "This Land is Your Land"
America the Beautiful (I used to know all, but now just the first)
Let Freedom Ring aka My Country T'is of Thee (used to know more, now just the first part)
I'm sure there are some others, but it's been so long since elementary school...we were big on patriotic materials and I loved to sing so it was fun!
