Remember the Alamo

Jane Bowers/Donovan: What's Bin Did And What's Bin Hid (1965)

C G C F C C/D C
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travers to die,
C G C F C C7
by a line that he drew with his sword as the battle drew nigh.
F C F C
Every man that stepped over the line was for glory, and he that was left better fly,
G C F C C7
and over the line crossed one hundred and seventy nine.
F Em
Hey, up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below,
F C F G C
So the rest of Texas will know, and remember the Alamo.
 
C G C F C C/D C
Jim Bowie lay dying, his blood and his powder were dry,
G C F C C7
but his knife had been willing to take him a few in reply.
F C F C
Young Davey Crockett lay laughing and dying, the blood and the sweat in his eye,
G C F C C7
for Texas and freedom a man was more willing to die.
F Em
Hey, up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below,
F C F G C
So the rest of Texas will know, and remember the Alamo.
 
C G C F C C/D C
A courier came, to bellow once bloody and loud.
G C F C C7
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd.
F C F C
Fear not, little darling, of dying, if the world is sovereign and free,
G C F C C7
well, we'll fight to the last as long as liberty be.
F Em
Hey, up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below,
F C F C
So the rest of Texas will know, and remember the Alamo.
F G C
And remember the Alamo!
