To the people of Texas and all the

Fellow citizens and compatriots
C#m
A
I am besieged with a thousand or more of the Mexic
E
D
ans under Santa Anna
E
And I have sustained a continual bombardment and
A
E
cannonade for twenty- four hours
A
And have not lost a man
The enemy has demanded
a surrender of discretion
Otherwise the garrison are to
E
be put to the sword if the fort is taken
A
I have answered the demand
with a cannon shot
And our flag still waves proudly from the walls
D
I shall never surrender or retreat
E
Then I call on you in the name of liberty
And of everything
dear to the American character
D
To come to our aide with all dispatch
A
The enemy is receiving reinforcements
daily
And will no doubt increase to three
or four thousand in four or five days
If this call is neglected,
E
I am determined to sustain as long as possible
A
And die like a soldier who never forgets
what is due his own honor
D
And that of his country, Victory or Death!
A

A
P.S. "The Lord is on our side
D
When the enemy appeared in sight we

We have since found in deserted houses

eighty or ninety bushels
And got into the walls twenty or thirty
D
E
head of beeves
