Remember The Alamo Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[C]And a hundred and eighty were challenged by [G7]Travis to [C]die

By the line that he drew with his sword when the [G7]battle was [C]nigh

Any [F]man that would fight to the [C]death cross over

But [G7]him that would live better [C]fly

And over the line went a hundred and [G7]seventy-[C]nine


[F]Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers [Em]below

That [F]men wherever they [C]go will [G7]remember the [C]Alamo

Oh Bowie lay dying his powder was [G7]ready and [C]dry

Flat on his back Bowie killed him a [G7]few in [C]reply

And [F]young Davy Crockett was [C]singing and laughing

With [G7]gallantry fierce in his [C]eye

For God and for freedom a man more than [G7]willing to [C]die


[F]Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers [Em]below

That [F]men wherever they [C]go will [G7]remember the [C]Alamo

They sent a young scout from the battlements [G7]bloody and [C]loud

With words of farewell from a garrison [G7]valiant and [C]proud

Grieve [F]not little darling my [C]dying

If [G7]Texas is sovereign and [C]free

We'll never surrender and ever with [G7]liberty [C]be


[F]Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers [Em]below

That [F]men wherever they [C]go will [G7]remember the [C]Alamo
