Midi List

Our MIDI List

The following MIDIs are those I have used in the past on this website. Because of advances in technology, midis are somewhat a thing of the past. So, in 2008, instead of "dumping them," I am simply collecting them here in one place. Below each title is information about the song, its source, and where it was previously found on this website (some of those pages no longer exist). Click on the title to listen to the song.

The version of the song Mustang Gray that I've recorded is based on the melody and words found in the book, He Was Singin' This Song, by Jim Bob Tinsley, A University of Central Florida Book, University Presses of Florida, Orlando, 1981. This book has wonderfully detailed information about the creation of the song, including a lot of information about the real Texas ranger named Mustang Gray. ISBN 0-8130-0683-X

Another version, with a surprisingly different tune and slightly different wording, can be found in Cowboy and Western Songs: A Comprehensive Anthology, edited by Austin E. and Alta S. Fife, Creative Concepts Publishing Corp., Ojai, CA, 1969. ISBN 1-56922-003-4

MUSTANG GRAY

There was a gallant ranger,
They called him Mustang Gray.
When quite a youth he left his home
A-ranging far away.
But he'll go no more a-ranging
The savage to afright.
He has heard his last war whoop,
And has fought his last fight.
He would not sleep within a tent,
No comforts would he know.
But like a brave old Texan
A-ranging he would go.
When Texas was invaded
By a might tyrant foe,
He mounted his noble war-horse
A-ranging he did go.
He once was taken prisoner,
Bound in chains along the way,
He wore a yoke of burden through
The streets of Monterrey.
God bless the senorita,
The belle of Monterrey,
She opened wide the prison door
And let him ride away.
The senorita loved him,
And followed by his side.
She opened gates and gave to him
Her father's horse to ride.
And when the veteran's life was spent
It was his last command
To bury him on Texas soil
On the banks of the Rio Grande.
And there the lonely ranger,
When passing by his grave,
Will shed a tear and bid farewell
to the bravest of the brave.
For he'll go no more a-ranging
The savage to affright.
He has heard his last war whoop,
And fought his last fight.
