March to Battle (Across the Rio Grande) |
| We are the San Patricios |
| A brave and gallant band |
| There’ll be no white flag flying |
| Within this green command; |
| We are the San Patricios |
| We have but one demand |
| To see the Yankees safely home |
| Across the Rio Grande |
| But when at Churubusco |
| We fell to Yankee hands |
| No court of justice did we have |
| In the land of Uncle Sam; |
| As traitors and deserters all |
| We would be shot or hanged |
| Far from the green, green shamrock shore |
| Across the Rio Grande |
| We’ve disappeared from history |
| Like footprints in the sand |
| But our song is in the tumbleweed |
| And our blood is in this land; |
| But, if in the desert moonlight |
| You see a ghostly band |
| We’re the men who died for freedom |
| Across the Rio Grande |
| We are the San Patricios |
| A brave and gallant band |
