Wager No Wounds

WAGER NO WOUNDS

When told of her son's
untimely demise
his mother gave these words
so motherly wise

Courage was one thing
my Jim never lacked
"I'll wager no wounds
were found in his back"

Not one to back off
or run from a fight
my Jim always fought
for what he thought right

He would have never retreated
when under attack
"I'll wager no wounds
were found in his back".

"I'll wager no wounds were found in his back."
-Elvie Bowie, when told her son Jim had been killed at the Alamo.
