We'll Stand Up And Fight
Written and recorded by Red Steagall

Am
I thought we were finished with all of our troubles
E7
And left 'em back home in the Kentucky sand
Am
Survived all the battles of war of death and ashes
E7 Am
We were hoping for peace in the great Texas land

Dm Am
But Kentucky came late claimed all of the battles
Dm Am
We crossed the Red River at noon yesterday
Dm Am
Two outlaws stopped us demanded our horses
Dm E7 Am
But they're through with hijacking after today


I got off the wagon to quite the horses
C E7
They didn't see Bessy a dozen and more
Am
They fell from their saddles I gathered their horses
E7 Am
A two barreled shotgun has evened the score

Dm Am
Wife and the children are still in the wagon
Dm Am
Molly cries softly but muffles the sound
Dm Am
The clank of the shovel attracts no attention
Dm E7 Am
I bury them deep and then smooth out the ground

F C
Our entry to Texas was less than a welcome
F Em G7
I'm still excited we finally arrived
F Em Am
A chance to start over and nothing will stop us
G7 C E7
We'll call Texas home for the rest of our lives

Am
We drive into town as if nothing has happened
C E7
Jefferson's quite on a hot afternoon
Am
We were planning to stop spend a day or two resting
E7 Am
We'll sleep tonight beneath the big Texas moon

Dm Am
Then a rider approached as I reigned in my horse
Dm Am
We shook hands and howdy and talked for a spell
Dm Am
My eye caught his badge and I read US Marshal
Dm E7 Am
I was churning inside and I'm sure he could tell


He said there's some bad man who pray on the settlers
C E7
I told him what happened at noon yesterday
Am
I was sure he'd arrest me but he just smiled politely
E7 Am
Said thanks for the help and then bid us good day

Dm Am
But I'm sure some will think what I did was not proper
Dm Am
But I did what I had to I'm sure I was right
Dm Am
We're not hunting trouble we're peace loving people
Dm E7 Am
But if trouble should find us we'll stand up and fight

F C
Our grass will be stocked with the great longhorn cattle
F Em G7
Our horses will come from the finest of mares
F Em Am
Our children will grow like a cottonwood sapling
G7 C
They'll learn how to stand and contribute their share

F Em Am
We've a chance to start over and nothing will stop us
E7 Am
We'll call Texas home for the rest of our lives
