Johnny Cash - Remember The Alamo lyrics

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 cross 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 where ever they go, will remember the Alamo

Bowie lay dyin', but his powder was ready and dry

Flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply

And young David Crockett was singin' and laughin',

With gallantry fierce in his eyes

For God and for freedom, a man more than willin' to die

Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below,

that men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo

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 darlin' my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free,

We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be"

Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below,

that men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo
