don't forget peal harbour
and Remember The Alamo
indeed the Alamo! lill davy crocket king of the wild frontier.
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
The man who would fight 'til the death cross over
But him that would live better fly
And over his line went a hundred and seventy-nine
Chorus:
Hi! Up! Santy Anno, we're killin' your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo
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)
A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud
The 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"
