Why do we not sing the 3rd and 4th verses of the Star Spangled Banner?

Asked by SergeantQueen (12874points) September 22nd, 2017

Is it because hardly anyone (supposedly) even knows there is a 3rd and 4th verse? I watched a video of a guy singing it and it was 6 minutes for all four verses. So is it possible that it is just too long? I bet if someone like Christina Aguilera was singing it’d be around 8–9 minutes.
Here is a website that has all four verses on it.
