Tex Ritter — Remember the Alamo

[Intro] [Verse 1] A 180 were challenged by Travis to die (Challenged to die) By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh (Battle was nigh) "The man who will fight to the death cross over But him who would live better fly" And over the line went a 179 [Chorus] Hi! Yip! Santa Anna, we're killin' your soldiers below That men wherever they go Will remember the Alamo! [Verse 2] Though 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 singin' and laughin' With gallantry fierce in his eye For God and for freedom, a man more than willin' to die [Chorus] Hi! Yip! Santa Anna, we're killin' your soldiers below That men wherever they go Will remember the Alamo! [Verse 3] They sent a young scout through the battlements, bloody and loud (Bloody and loud) With words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud (Valiant and proud) "Grieve not, little darlin', my dyin' If Texas is sovereign and free We'll never surrender, and ever will liberty be!" [Chorus] Hi! Yip! Santa Anna, we're killin' your soldiers below But men wherever they go Will remember the Alamo! [Outro]
