Come all ye 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. | |
Was at the age of seventeen I joined the jolly band. | |
We marched round San Antonio down to the Ryo Grande. | |
Our Captain, he informed us, perhaps he thought it right. | |
Before we reach the station boys, you'll surely have to fight. | |
And when the bugle sounded our Captain gave command. | |
To arms, to arms he shouted, and by your horses stand. | |
I saw the smoke ascending; it seemed to reach the sky. | |
And then the thought it struck me, my time had come to die. | |
I saw 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 had left me, and all my courage too. | |
We fought for nine hours fully, before the strife was o’er. | |
The likes of dead and wounded, I never saw before. | |
And when the sun had risen, and the Indians they had fled. | |
We loaded up our rifles and counted up our dead. | |
And all of us were wounded, our noble Captain slain. | |
The sun was shining sadly across that bloody plain. | |
Sixteen, the brave Rangers that never roamed the west, | |
Were buried by their comrades with arrows in their breast. | |
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 that don't want you to roam. | |
I'd advise you by experience, you'd better stay at home |
