Johnny cash remember the alamo lyrics

A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die 

the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh

Any man that will fight to the death cross over 

But those that would live better fly 

And over the line went a hundred and seventy nine 

High up Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below 

So the rest of Texas will know & remember the Alamo 

Jim Bowie lay dyin' his powder was ready and dry 

From flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply 

And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin' 

the challenge fierce in his eyes 

For Texas and freedom a man more than willing to die 

High up Santa Anna we're killing your soilders below, 

so the rest of Texas will know and remeber the alamo 

A courier sent through the battlements bloody and loud 

With the words of farewell, the letters he carried were proud 

Grieve not little darling my dying if Texas is sovereign and free 

We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be 

High up Santa Anna we're killing your soilders below, 

So the rest of Texas will know & remember the Alamo
