Remember The Alamo Lyrics - Johnny Cash

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...
