The Alamo - as I remember it from way back!
1. One hundred and eighty were challenged by Travers to die
By a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh
A man that crossed over the line was for glory,
And he that stayed, better hide.
And over the line crossed one hundred and seventy nine.

Chorus: Way-up, Santiana, they're killing your soldiers below,
So the rest of Texas will know
And remember the Alamo.

2. Jim Bowie lay dying, his blood and his powder were dry
With his knife at the ready to take him a few in reply.
Young Davey Crockett lay laughing and crying,
The blood and the sweat in his eyes.
For Texas and freedom no man was more willing to die.

3. A courier came to a battle once bloody and loud
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd.
Fear not, little darling, of dying
If the world is sovereign and free,
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be.

At least, that's how we used to sing it in the early '70's
