Johnny Cash - Remember the Alamo lyrics

And a hundred and eighty were
Challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with his
Sword when the battle was nigh
Any man that would fight to
The death crossed over
But him that would live, better fly
And over the line went a
Hundred and seventy nine

Hey Santa Anna
We're killing your soldiers below!
That men
Wherever they go will remember the Alamo

Bowie lay dying
But his powder was ready and dry
Flat on his back
Bowie killed him a few in reply
And young David Crockett was
Singing and laughing
With gallantry fears in his eyes
For God and for freedom
A man more than willing to die

And then they sent a young
Scout from the battlements, bloody and loud
With the words of farewell from
A garrison valiant and proud
Grieve not little darling, my dying
If Texas is sovereign and free
We'll never surrender and ever
With liberty be
