Texas Rangers |
Come all you Texas rangers, wherever you may be |
I’ll tell you of some troubles that happened unto me |
My name is nothing extra, so that I will not tell |
And here’s to all you rangers, I’m sure I wish you well |
It was at the age of 16, I joined the jolly band |
We marched from San Antonio unto the Rio Grande |
Our captain, he informed us, I guess he thought it right |
Before we reach the station, we’d surely have to fight |
And before we reached the station, our captain gave command |
«To arms, to arms,» he shouted, «and by your ponies stand» |
I saw the smoke ascending, it seemed to reach the sky |
And then the thought had struck me, my time had come to die |
I heard the Indians coming, I heard them give a yell |
My feelings at that moment, no human tongue can tell |
I saw their glittering lances, their arrows 'round me flew |
And all my strength, it left me, and all my courage too |
And all of us were wounded, our noble captain slain |
The sun was shining sadly across the bloody plain |
Sixteen as brave our rangers has ever rode the West |
Were buried by their comrades with arrows in their chest |
And now my song is ended, I guess I’ve sung enough |
The life of any ranger, you see, is very tough |
And if you have a mother who don’t want you to roam |
I advise you by experience, you’d better stay at home |
