And a hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
G7 C
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
F C
Any man that would fight to the death cross over
G7 C
But him that would live better fly
G7 C
And over the line went a hundred and seventy-nine
F Em
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below
F C G7 C
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo
G7 C
Oh Bowie lay dying his powder was ready and dry
G7 C
Flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply
F C
And young Davy Crockett was singing and laughing
G7 C
With gallantry fierce in his eye
G7 C
For God and for freedom a man more than willing to die
F Em
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below
F C G7 C
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo
G7 C
They sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud
G7 C
With words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud
F C
Grieve not little darling my dying
G7 C
If Texas is sovereign and free
G7 C
We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be
F Em
Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below
F C G7 C
That men wherever they go will remember the Alamo
