Donovan Leitch The Alamo Lyrics

The Alamo Lyrics

880 were challenged by travellers 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



Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below



So the rest of Texas will know



And remember the Alamo







Jim Bowie lay dying, the blood and the sweat in his eyes



But his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply



Young Davy Crocket lay laughing and dying



The blood and the sweat in his eyes



For Texas and freedom a man was more willing to die



Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below



So the rest of Texas will know



And remember the Alamo







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 darling of dying



If this world be sovereign and free



For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be



Hey Up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below



So the rest of Texas will know



And remember the Alamo
