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 |
