The Kingston Trio — Remember the Alamo

[Verse 1] A 180 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 him that would live better fly" And over his line went 179 [Chorus] Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killin' your soldiers below So the rest of Texas will know And remember the Alamo! [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killin' your soldiers below So the rest of Texas will know And remember the Alamo! [Verse 3] A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud With words of farewell 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!" [Chorus] Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killin' your soldiers below So the rest of Texas will know And remember the Alamo! [Outro] Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo!
