C                                           G7        C
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

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

                                             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
