<p>There once was a noble ranger,<br/>
They called him Mustang Gray;<br/>
He left his home when but a youth,<br/>
Went ranging far away.</p>
<p class="add1em">But he'll go no more a-ranging,<br/>
The savage to affright;<br/>
He has heard his last war-whoop,<br/>
And fought his last fight.</p>
<p>He ne'er would sleep within a tent,<br/>
No comforts would he know;<br/>
But like a brave old Tex-i-an,<br/>
A-ranging he would go.</p>
<p>When Texas was invaded<br/>
By a mighty tyrant foe,<br/>
He mounted his noble war-horse<br/>
And a-ranging he did go.</p>
<p>Once he was taken prisoner,<br/>
Bound in chains upon the way,<br/>
He wore the yoke of bondage<br/>
Through the streets of Monterey.</p>
<p>A senorita loved him,<br/>
And followed by his side;<br/>
She <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page080" name="page080"></SPAN>(p. 080)</span> opened the gates and gave to him<br/>
Her father's steed to ride.</p>
<p>God bless the senorita,<br/>
The belle of Monterey,<br/>
She opened wide the prison door<br/>
And let him ride away.</p>
<p>And when this veteran's life was spent,<br/>
It was his last command<br/>
To bury him on Texas soil<br/>
On the banks of the Rio Grande;</p>
<p>And there the lonely traveler,<br/>
When passing by his grave,<br/>
Will shed a farewell tear<br/>
O'er the bravest of the brave.</p>
<p class="add1em">And he'll go no more a-ranging,<br/>
The savage to affright;<br/>
He has heard his last war-whoop,<br/>
And fought his last fight.</p>
