Texas Rangers: fugitives from San Antonio Colony

Jim Putnam, Lon Oden, and fellow Ranger John Hughes
Went to San Antonio Colony on a tip with some news
They arrested Desi Duran
Who they left with Putnam
Cuz' they saw three more outlaws bidding the town their adieus

The two Rangers chased down the bad trio
And they killed the one known as Florencio
And when they got back
They stopped a mob attack
On Putnam, who said "woe is meo"

Texas Rangers: the Shafter Silver Mine Affair

A Shafter silver mine was watched by two Rangers
When their undercover man came out with three strangers
Their lot was now cast
So the ore thieves drew fast
But the lawmen drew faster, alleviating the dangers

John Hughes, Lon Oden, and Ernest St. Leon
Fulfilled their sworn duty, of that we can agree on
The thieves made their choice
And now lost their voice
As their blood stains the ground the cattle still pee on
