By the green Palo Alto we first' met the foe, Where we taught him the trick of fight hard and lie low And convinced him that there was more metal than show In General Zack, and his Bayonet Boys. The noon it was sultry---the balls flew so hot, They made dodging a science in that busy spot; And the copper they threw will not soon be forgot By General Zack, and his Bayonet Boys. Sublime to all gazers their show and their art; But sublime and ridiculous aren't far apart; Soon the joke grew so fat that we took it to heart And they heard from brave Zack, and his Bayonet Boys. A voice from our Ringgold, whose body lies low, Where the prairie grass waves, and the wild flowers grow, Was a prelude of death to full many a foe, Who fell before Zack, and his Bayonet Boys. Oh! long may the wild flower grow on the grave Of the hero who falls 'midst the tug of the brave; And long may remembrance his valor engrave On the hearts of Old Zack, and his Bayonet Boys. But pass round the bowl, and let Mexico sweat O'er the rout and defeat she will not soon forget: If she does there's more food for remembrance "to let" By inquiring of Zack, and his Bayonet Boys. Note: In "Army Ballads and Other Poems", pub. 1871, Arthur T. Lee says that this song was "written impromptu and sung at a collation given to the Louisiana Delegation at Matamoras, Mexico, appointed to present the thanks of Louisiana to General Taylor and his Army". Tune is not known; sings OK to "St. Patrick's Day" RG @army @war @Mexico @America filename[ BAYNTBOY RG ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Never Feat Slug, The Wrong Route, A Life Beyond, Against The World, And The Laughter Has Died, Before the Creation of Time, Berserk, Bloodbath, Born Deranged, Breaking the Law, Burnt Alive, Captured, Countess Bathory, Crush The Skull, Dead Forever, Death Metal Victory, Demoneater, Demons Rejoice, Dissection Leftovers, Down Under Ground, Execute Them All, Fly Raven Fly, For They Shall Be Slain, Forever Goodbye, Forever Goodbye (2045), Hail the New Age, Hero Of The Land, I Am God, I Hate Returned, I Have Returned, If They Had Eyes, If They Had Eyes (the Watchers Of The Earth), In Hellfire, In The Name Of God, In The Northern Lands, Into Glory Ride, Joy In The Sun, Land Of Ice, Legal Rapes, Mediawhore, My Life For You, Never Ending Hate, Onward into Countless Battles, Open Wide, Peace, Piece By Piece, Precious Land, Ragnarok, Revenge, Scream Forth Aggression, Shadows in the Deep, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
