History lesson: 1835. 5 000 men under Santa Anna crossed the Rio Grande. David Crockett left Tenese with the volunteers. At a Spanish mission near San Antonio he met a knife fighter and a gambler named Bowie and a 180 Americans. Against 5 000. A 180 Americans against 5 000. Mr. President, thats the kind of odds we got today.
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
Any man that would fight to the death, cross over
But him that would live better fly
And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine
Chorus:
Hey, Santa Anna, we're killing you're soldiers below
That 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 singinn' and laughin'
with gallantry fierce in eyes
For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die
Hey, Santa Anna, we're killing you're soldiers below
That men, wherever they go, will remember the Alamo
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
Hey, Santa Anna, we're killing you're soldiers below
That men, wherever they go, will remember the Alamo
The Alamo
