《The Texas Ranger》歌词

[00:02:42] The Texas Rangers - Tex Ritter

[00:02:42] Come all you Texas Rangers, wherever you may be

[00:02:42] I'll tell you of some trouble that happened unto me

[00:02:42] My name is nothing extra, so that I will not tell

[00:02:42] But here's to all good Rangers, I'm sure I wish you well

[00:02:42] When at the age of sixteen I joined this jolly band

[00:02:42] We marched from San Antonio down to the Rio Grande

[00:02:42] Our captain he informed us, perhaps he thought it right

[00:02:42] 'Before we reach the station, we'll surely have to fight!'

[00:02:42] I saw the smoke ascending, it seemed to reach the sky

[00:02:42] The first thought then came to me, 'My time has come to die!'

[00:02:42] And when the bugles sounded, our captain gave command

[00:02:42] 'To arms, to arms,' he shouted, 'and by your horses stand'

[00:02:42] I saw the Indians coming, I heard their awful yell

[00:02:42] My feelings at the moment, no human tongue can tell

[00:02:42] I saw their glittering lances, their arrows around me flew

[00:02:42] Till all my strength had left me and all my courage too

[00:02:42] We fought for five full hours before the strife was o'er

[00:02:42] The likes of dead and wounded, I've never seen before

[00:02:42] And when the sun had risen, the Indians they had fled

[00:02:42] We loaded up our rifles and counted up our dead

[00:02:42] Now all of us were wounded, our noble captain slain

[00:02:42] And when the sun was shining across the bloody plain

[00:02:42] Six of the noblest Rangers that ever roamed the West

[00:02:42] Were buried by their comrades with arrows in the breasts

[00:02:42] Perhaps you have a mother, likewise a sister too

[00:02:42] Perhaps you have a sweetheart, to weep and mourn for you

[00:02:42] If this be your position, although you'd like to roam

[00:02:42] I'll tell you from experience, you'd better stay at home
