Verse 
C 
In the dry winds of summer, 
                       G 
we were sharpening the blades 
        F         C                                 Em 
We were riding to act upon the promise we had made

With the fist and the dagger, 
C                      G 
with the rifle and the lance

We will suffer no intrusion from the infidels of France

Before they were waiting 
                       C 
and they were fifty to our ten

by a smaller force then them
