Come all ye [E] 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 [A] 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 from San Antonio [Em] down to the Rio Grande
Our captain he informed us, [A] perhaps he thought it [E] right
Before we reached 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 our horses stand
I saw the smoke descend and it seemed to reach the sky
And then the thought it struck me my time had come to [A] die
I saw the Indians coming, I heard them give a yell
My feelings at that moment no [Em] human tongue can tell
I saw their glittering lances, their arrows round me flew
[A] 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 [E] 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 of braver rangers than ever rode the west
Were buried by their comrades with arrows in their breast
And now my song has ended I guess I've sung enough
The life of any ranger you see [N] is very tough
And if you have a mother that don't want you to roam
[Em] I advise you by experience you'd better stay at home
I'll tell you of some troubles that happened unto me
My name is nothing extra, so that I will not [A] 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 from San Antonio [Em] down to the Rio Grande
Our captain he informed us, [A] perhaps he thought it [E] right
Before we reached 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 our horses stand
I saw the smoke descend and it seemed to reach the sky
And then the thought it struck me my time had come to [A] die
I saw the Indians coming, I heard them give a yell
My feelings at that moment no [Em] human tongue can tell
I saw their glittering lances, their arrows round me flew
[A] 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 [E] 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 of braver rangers than ever rode the west
Were buried by their comrades with arrows in their breast
And now my song has ended I guess I've sung enough
The life of any ranger you see [N] is very tough
And if you have a mother that don't want you to roam
[Em] I advise you by experience you'd better stay at home
