There were not very many, At the funeral that day. When we lay old A. C. Connor- Underneath the Texas clay. I guess that he’d outlived them all, His saddle pards and such. And in the eyes of most the folks… He didn’t count for much. We placed a rolled-up gunbelt- Not far from his right hand. He’d worn very proudly, When he helped to tame our land. And a ring of Mex’can silver- We pinned upon his vest. Engraved with “Texas Ranger”- He’d been one of the best. We lay a piece of history… To rest that somber day. A slave to his sworn duty… He never ran away. His like are quickly fading- I wonder what we’ll do, When duty calls or danger… Who’ll stand for me and you? |

"Who’ll stand for me and you?" Very good question. I know there are those who still believe in protecting the people. Just seems to be harder to find them now a days. |
