1
The story began in Renosa
2
A village in old Mexico
3
A girl and a Mexican soldier
4
Were sweethearts a long time ago
5
They made big plans for a wedding
6
The town of Renosa would go
7
And there would see Jimmy Martinez
8
Married to Sarah Sero, oh oh oh
9
One day there came a message
10
It said that Jimmy must go
11
As Jimmy was leavin' Renosa
12
To fight at the Alamo
13
He never returned to Renosa
14
The story's been told and retold
15
How Jimmy, the Mexican soldier
16
Died at the Alamo, oh oh oh
17
Jimmy's last letter to Sarah
18
Began with a message like this
19
Oh dear one, how sweet is the memory
20
The memory of our parting kiss
21
I send my heart in this letter
22
I pray to the one up above
23
Oh Sarah, don't ever forget me
24
Stay just as pure as the dove, oh oh oh
25
I'm like the dove in your window
26
It's chosen just one mate for life
27
And you are the one I have chosen
28
The one that I want for my wife
29
He never returned to Renosa
30
The story's been told and retold
31
How Jimmy, the Mexican soldier
32
Died at the Alamo, oh oh oh
33
Sarah refused to believe them
34
She prayed for Jimmy's return
35
And there every night in her window
36
A small little candle would burn
37
Years turned her dark hair to silver
38
She prayed for Jimmy so long
39
Then one night the village was saddened
40
The light in her window was gone, oh oh oh
