Kingston Trio Remember The Alamo Lyrics

Remember The Alamo Lyrics

A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die



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



"The man who would fight to the death cross over but he who that would live
better fly,"



And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy-nine



Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below



So the rest of Texas will know and 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 was fierce in
his eye



For Texas and freedom, a man more than willin' to die



Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below



So the rest of Texas will know and remember the Alamo



A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud



With words of fare well in the letters he carried were proud



"Grieve not, little darlin', my dyin' if Texas is sovereign and free



We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be!"



Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below



So the rest of Texas will know and remember the Alamo



Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo
