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 high 



Any man that will fight to the death cross over 



But if you want to live you'd 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 



Ol' Bowie lay dying his powder was ready and dry 



Flat on his back Bowie killed them a few in reply 



And young Davy Crockett was singing and laughing with gallantry fears in his eyes 



For God and for freedom a man more than willing to die 



Hey Santa Anna... 



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 



Hey Santa Anna...
