JIMMY MARTINEZ
The sDtory began in Renosa
A village in Ebdimold MexicA7o
A girl and a Mexican soldier
Were sweethearts, a long time Dago
They made big plans for a wedding
The town of ReEbdimnosa would A7go
And there would see Jimmy Martinez
Married to Sarah SeDro
OA7hh ohh ohhD
ODne day there came a message
It said that JEbdimimmy must gA7o
As Jimmy was leavin' Renosa
To fight at the AlaDmo
He never returned to Renosa
The story's been Ebdimtold and retoA7ld
How Jimmy the Mexican soldier
Died at the AlamDo
OhA7h- Ohh oDhh
JiDmmy's last letter to Sarah
Began with a Ebdimmessage like A7this
Oh dear one, how sweet is the memory
The memory of our parting Dkiss
I send my heart in this letter
I pray to the Ebdimone up aboA7ve
Oh Sarah, don't ever forget me
Stay just as pure as the dDove
OA7hh ohh oDhh
I'm lDike the dove in your window
It's chosen just Ebdimone mate for lA7ife
And you are the one I have chosen
The one that I want for my Dwife
He never returned to Renosa
The story's been Ebdimtold and retA7old
How Jimmy the Mexican soldier
Died at the AlaDmo
OhA7h ohh oDhh
SDarah refused to believe them
She prayed for EbdimJimmy's retA7urn
And there ever night in her window
A small little candle would bDurn
Years turned her dark hair to silver
She prayed for EbdimJimmy so lA7ong
Then one night the village was saddened
The light in her window was gDone
OA7hh ohh oDhh
