Donovan
The Alamo
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Hey! Up! Santy Anna, they're killin' your soldiers below
So, the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo!

[Verse 2]
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 laughin' and dyin'
The blood and the sweat in his eyes
For Texas and freedom no man was more willin' to die

[Chorus]
Hey! Up! Santy Anna, they're killin' your soldiers below
So, the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo!

[Verse 3]
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 darlin' of dyin'
If the world is sovereign and free
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be
[Chorus]
Hey! Up! Santy Anna, they're killin' your soldiers below
So, the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo!

[Outro]
And remember the Alamo!
