Lyrics:

A young man rode with his head held high
Under the Texas sun
And no one guessed that a man so blessed
Would perish by the gun

A shot rang out like a sudden shout
And heaven held its breath
And the dreams of a multitude of men
Went with him to his death

The heart of the world weighs heavy
With the helplessness of tears
For a man shut down in the Texas sun
In the summer of his years

---------------------------

Oh, we'll rally 'round the flag
Yes we'll rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
Yes we'll rally 'round the flag
And we'll rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom

The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah
The Union forever, and up with the stars
And we'll rally 'round the flag
Yes we'll rally once again
Shouting the battle cry of freedom
