Diamond Dick – Ballad of Ernest St. Leon | True Texas Ranger Story!
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Born in San Antone, son of a refugee
Left his books and the courtroom dreams, chased cavalry
Rode with the flag through the canyon winds
Fought three warriors, lost a friend — but he never gave in

[Verse 2]
He wore his diamonds like a badge of pride
With a six-gun soul and eagle eyes
In Company D, he walked the line
Undercover in the outlaw times

[Chorus]
Oh Diamond Dick, with a Ranger's code
Riding hard where the law don't go
Through desert fire and border stone
He walked alone...
Diamond Dick, hearts were torn
But legends like his are Texas-born

[Verse 3]
He drank too deep, the bottle won some days
But John Hughes knew his worth in ways
Tracked silver thieves through the canyon dust
Led 'em blind into ambush trust

[Verse 4]
Got the names of the killers bold
Of Captain Jones, now dead and cold
With grit and fire in every breath
He helped ride down the gang of death

[Chorus]
Oh Diamond Dick, a ghost in trail
A whisper in the outlaws’ wail
He didn’t flinch, he didn’t fold
Fought for truth in a world gone cold
Diamond Dick, the west was torn
But legends like his are Texas-born

[Bridge]
Last stand out in Socorro town
One good doc and three guns drawn
Dr. Breaux went down, and blood ran red
St. Leon rode, though near to dead

[Verse 5]
He reached Ysleta with lead in his chest
Tried to cheat fate, tried his best
But August’s end called him home
Now he rests beneath El Paso stone

[Final Chorus]
Diamond Dick, that name still rides
On winds that howl through canyon sides
He wore his diamonds, bold and bright
Fought for justice, lived the fight
Diamond Dick, hearts still mourn
But legends like his are Texas-born
