Ragged Old Flag is the 47th album by American country music singer Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in 1974 (see 1974 in music). The album addresses several political as well as ethical issues, like many of Cash's other releases. The title track, and the only single from the album, is a spoken word tribute to patriotism amid the Watergate scandal. "Don't Go Near the Water" addresses another hot political issue of the time, the environment. All of the songs on the album were composed by Cash, save "I'm a Worried Man" by himself and June Carter Cash.

Ragged Old Flag es el vigésimo álbum del cantante country Johnny Cash lanzado el año 1974 bajo el sello disquero Columbia. El álbum trata de varios temas políticos y temas éticos también, este álbum es muy diferente a lo que se ha escuchado de Cash. La canción "Ragged Old Flag" trata en forma dulce sobre el patriotismo junto con el escándalo político de Watergate y la canción "Don't Go Near the Water" se refiere a un tema muy discutible, el medio ambiente. Todas las canciones fueron compuestas por Cash menos la canción "I'm a Worried Man" que la hizo con su esposa June Carter Cash.
