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
A
and of patriotism
And of everything
dear to the American character
D
To come to our aide with all dispatch

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,

And die like a soldier who never forgets
what is due his own honor
D
And that of his country, Victory or Death!
