The Texas Rangers - Tex Ritter

[00:00.0]The Texas Rangers - Tex Ritter
[00:31.21]Come all you Texas rangers
[00:34.7]Wherever you may be
[00:37.83]I'll tell you of much trouble
[00:40.98]That happened unto me
[00:44.15]Our captain he informed us
[00:47.55]Perhaps he thought it right
[00:50.74]'Before we reach the station
[00:53.3]Boy's we'll surely have to fight'
[00:56.94]And when the bugles sounded
[01:00.1]Our captain gave command
[01:03.25]'To arms to arms'
[01:04.93]He shouted
[01:06.52]'And by your horses stand'
[01:09.74]I saw the smoke ascending
[01:12.91]It seemed to reach the sky
[01:16.12]The first thought then trak me
[01:19.36]My time had come to die'
[01:22.61]I saw the Indians coming
[01:25.84]I heard their awful yell
[01:29.0]My feelings at the moment
[01:32.2]No tongue can never tell
[01:35.380005]I saw their glittering lances
[01:38.57]Their arrows around me flew
[01:41.8]And all my strength had left me
[01:45.04]And all my courage too
[01:48.22]We fought that last night hours
[01:51.33]Before the strife was o'er
[01:54.59]The likes of dead and wounded
[01:57.8]I've never saw before
[02:01.07]And when the sun was risen
[02:04.3]And the Indians they had fled
[02:07.53]We loaded up our rifles
[02:10.83]And counted up our dead
[02:14.02]And all of us were wounded
[02:17.29001]Our noble captain slain
[02:20.54001]And the sun was shining
[02:23.76]Across the bloody plain
[02:26.95]Sixteen is braver angel
[02:30.20999]As ever roamed the west
[02:33.42]Were buried by their comrades
[02:36.39]With arrows in the breasts
[02:39.95]I've seen the proofs of rambling
[02:43.06]I know it's hardship well
[02:46.3]I've 'cross the Rocky Mountain
[02:49.57]I know the streets so well
[02:52.81]I've been in the geat south west
[02:56.1]For the world the pechis roam
[02:59.28]And I'll tell you from experience
[03:02.63]You'd better stay at home
