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.

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 re	ply.

	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.

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	G	C
	And re	member the	Alamo!
