Ballad of the Alamo (The Alamo) - Frankie Avalon[00:00:00]
In the southern part of Texas[00:00:06]
In the town of San Antone[00:00:08]
There's a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown[00:00:10]
You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a one[00:00:18]
But sometimes between the setting and the rising of the sun[00:00:22]
You can hear a ghostly bugle[00:00:26]
As the men go marching by[00:00:28]
You can hear them as they answer[00:00:31]
To that roll call in the sky[00:00:33]
Colonel Travis Davy Crockett and a hundred eighty more[00:00:37]
Captain Dickinson Jim Bowie[00:00:41]
Present and accounted for[00:00:43]
Back in 1836 Houston said to Travis[00:00:47]
Get some volunteers and go[00:00:52]
Fortify the Alamo[00:00:54]
Well the men came from Texas[00:00:55]
And from old Tennessee[00:00:58]
And when they came young sweety[00:01:00]
Just to fight for the right to be free[00:01:02]
Indian scouts with squirrel guns[00:01:05]
Men with muzzle loaders[00:01:07]
Stood together heel and toe[00:01:10]
To defend the Alamo[00:01:12]
You may never see your loved ones[00:01:13]
Travis told them that day[00:01:16]
Those who want to can leave now[00:01:18]
Those who fight to the death let 'em stay[00:01:20]
One hundred and eighty five men[00:01:26]
Holding back five thousand[00:01:28]
Five days six days eight days ten[00:01:30]
Travis held and held again[00:01:32]
Then he sent for replacements[00:01:34]
For his wounded and lame[00:01:36]
But the troops that were coming[00:01:38]
Never came never came never came[00:01:40]
Twice he charged and blew recall[00:01:44]
On the fatal third time[00:01:46]
Santa Anna breached the wall[00:01:48]
And he killed 'em one by all[00:01:50]
Now the bugles are silent[00:01:52]
And there's rust on each sword[00:01:54]
And the small band of soldiers[00:01:56]
Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord[00:01:59]
In the southern part of Texas[00:02:12]
Near the town of San Antone[00:02:14]
Sounds a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown[00:02:17]
