Remember the Alamo
|
|
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
|
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
|
A man that crossed over the line was for glory
|
And he that was left better fly
|
And over the line crossed 179
|
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
|
So the rest of Texas will know
|
And remember the Alamo
|
|
Jim Bowie lay dying, his blood and his powder were dry
|
But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply
|
Young Davy Crockett lay laughing and dying
|
The blood and the sweat in his eyes
|
For Texas and freedom no man was more willing to die
|
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
|
So the rest of Texas will know
|
And remember the Alamo
|
|
A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
|
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd
|
Fear not little darling of dying
|
If this world be sovereign and free
|
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be
|
Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
|
So the rest of Texas will know
|
And remember the Alamo
|
And remember the Alamo
|
