Note of Interest:
This song dates from the era of the Texas Revolution.
It is about a 'Texas heroine, Emily D. West, a mulatto slave bound
to Colonel James Morgan, whose plantation bordered the San Jacinto
River. The defeat of the Mexican Army was directly connected with
General Santa Anna's preoccupation with this domestic girl.'
