Lyrics
- Uncle Sammy has gone to battle
Has gone to battle to fight for you an’ me
He is calling, the cannon rattle
The cannon rattle off over the sea
Texans ready, they are fast gath’ring
They are fast gath’ring, hear the bugle call
The Lone Star boys, all kinds are frat’ring
All kinds are frat’ring the best boys of all
Chorus
Texans, Lone Star boys fall in
Texans, Lone Star boys will win
Fighting over the top there
Fighting fighting ev’rywhere
Texans, Lone Star boys are men
Texans, Lone Star boys wade in
Fight there for flag and country
Fighting, fighting for Liberty
- Uncle Sammy, the boys are ready
The boys are ready, ready for the fray
Lone Star boys, both strong and steady
Both strong and steady, will each fight their way
Farewell mother, we’ll soon be leaving
We’ll soon be leaving, sailing over there
Bye-bye, my darling, oh don’t be grieving
Oh, don’t be grieving, I’m off to somewhere
