	Lyrics On San Jacinto’s bloody field, Our drum and trumpets loudly pelaed, And bade a haughty tyrant yield To Texas Chivalry. Our cheiftain boldly led the van, His sword grasped firmly in his hand, And bade us tell the Mexicans To think of Labordia ‘Twas evening, and the orient sun Into his bed was moving on, When our young heroes rushed upon The might of Mexico Santa Anna travelled far to see What man could do who dare be free, In spite of Spanish musketry Or Mexican artillery. The boldest sons of Mexico Have learned to fear a freeman’s blow, And dread the shout of “Alamo!” For Sons of Liberty. ‘Twas cheering to a Texian eye, To see Sant’ Anna’a legions fly. From Texas’ dreadful battle cry Of death or victory! The carnage ceased, in triumph then Proudly shone the Texian star, And vengeance on her conquering car Reposed most quietly.
