A Narrative Sure to Resonate with Those Who Stand for Justice

   Mexico claims part of Texas as its own  
     Calls to invade the Lone Star State have lately grown

   Long-time Texans can hardly believe their ears
     This issue has been decided for many years 

   But on Christmas night, Mexican gangs
     roamed Texan border towns, seeking Texans to hang

   They killed 2,000, then raped some more
     took others hostage, about twelve score

   Joe B., furious, ordered an all-out assault
     He'd show those Mexicans who was at fault

Here were Mexican nationals fighting alongside the Americans, including DAVY CROKETT.
