BAYLOR'S PARTISAN RANGERS.
By Mary L. Wilson, of San Antonio, Texas.
Air—" Dixie."
Hear the summons, sons of Texas! Now the fierce invaders vex us,
Come on, come on, come on for Texas! Daring-, dauntless, reckless Ranger! First in glory, first in danger—
Come on, come on for Texas.
Chorus.—Exalt the fame of Texas, strike home, strike home! "Where Baylor leads the foeman bleeds ! Then strike with him for Texas— Come on, come on, ye gallant sons of Texas!
Awhile ago the}7" dared defy us— Now they meet us but to fly us ; Bright the stars and bars are gleaming! Bright our future star is beaming !
Chorus.
By base Butler's proclamation, By our sister's defamation,— By the sword of justice sheathless, Be the fires of vengeance quenchless.
Chorus.
