A hundred-and-eighty were challenged by Travis to die.
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh.
"The man who would fight to the d**h cross over but him that would live better fly,"
And over his line went a hundred-and-seventy-nine.
[Chorus]
Hi! Santa Anna, we're k**ing your soldiers below, So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo!
Though Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry.
From flat on his back, Bowie k**ed him a few in reply,
And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin', the challenge was fierce in his eye.
For Texas and freedom, a man more than willin' to die.
[Chorus]
A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud,
With words of farewell in the letters he carried were proud:
"Grieve not, little darlin', my dyin' if Texas is sovereign and free,
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be!"
[Chorus]
Remember the Alamo!
Remember the Alamo!
Remember the Alamo!
