The Texas Rangers - Tex Ritter
Come all you Texas rangers
Wherever you may be
I'll tell you of much trouble
That happened unto me
Our captain he informed us
Perhaps he thought it right
'Before we reach the station
Boy's we'll surely have to fight'
And when the bugles 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
The first thought then trak me
My time had come to die'
I saw the Indians coming
I heard their awful yell
My feelings at the moment
No tongue can never tell
I saw their glittering lances
Their arrows around me flew
And all my strength had left me
And all my courage too
We fought that last night hours
Before the strife was o'er
The likes of dead and wounded
I've never saw before
And when the sun was 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
And the sun was shining
Across the bloody plain
Sixteen is braver angel
As ever roamed the west
Were buried by their comrades
With arrows in the breasts
I've seen the proofs of rambling
I know it's hardship well
I've 'cross the Rocky Mountain
I know the streets so well
I've been in the geat south west
For the world the pechis roam
And I'll tell you from experience
You'd better stay at home
