The Alamo
By Johnny Cash
The Alamo
C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7
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
F C
But if you wanna live, you better fly
C G7 C G7 C G7 C G7
And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine
Chorus:
F C
Hey, Santa Ana, we're killing you're soldiers below
F C C G7 C G7 C
So men, wherever they go, will remember the Alamo
Old Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry
Flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply
And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin'
with gallantry tears in eyes
For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die
Repeat chorus
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 darlin', my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be
Repeat chorus
