"Cincinnati Twins" (Song)

by Alexander Beedy

On the grasslands of Texas
Gunpowder plumes arose
All hellfire in the midst
Of war cries and echoes

Muskets pistols and cannonades
Searing a dead calm sunny day
Vince's Bridge reduced to coal
A ceasing scrape hence explodes

Hooves pound and soldiers run
Sabers slice after emptied guns
Sweating brows burn the eyes
While wounds of valor paralyze

Eithteen minutes thus reveals
A blood soaked sweet and bitter field
Six hundred or more in sorrow lie
Depicting a vengeance of Texian pride

By Sherman, Burleson, Houston
History wins
With the Cincinnati Twins
