Ballad Of The Alamo - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]
Written by:Tiomkin Webster[00:00:01]
In the southern part of texas[00:00:04]
In the town of san antone[00:00:07]
There's a fortress all in ruins that the weeds have overgrown[00:00:09]
You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a one[00:00:14]
But sometimes between the setting and the rising of the sun[00:00:19]
You can hear a ghostly bugle[00:00:23]
As the men go marching by[00:00:26]
You can hear them as they answer[00:00:28]
To that roll call in the sky[00:00:30]
Colonel travis davy crockett and a hundred eighty more[00:00:34]
Captain dickinson jim bowie[00:00:38]
Present and accounted for[00:00:41]
Back in 1836 houston said to travis[00:00:44]
Get some volunteers and go[00:00:48]
Fortify the alamo[00:00:51]
Well the men came from texas[00:00:53]
And from old tennessee[00:00:55]
And they joined up with travis[00:00:57]
Just to fight for the right to be free[00:00:59]
Indian scouts with squirrel guns[00:01:03]
Men with muzzle loaders[00:01:05]
Stood together heel and toe[00:01:07]
To defend the alamo[00:01:10]
You may ne'er see your loved ones[00:01:12]
Travis told them that day[00:01:14]
Those who want to can leave now[00:01:16]
Those who fight to the death let 'em stay[00:01:19]
In the sand he drew a line[00:01:22]
With his army sabre[00:01:24]
Out of a hundred eighty five[00:01:27]
Not a soldier crossed the line[00:01:29]
With his banners a dancin'[00:01:31]
In the dawn's golden light[00:01:33]
Santa anna came prancing[00:01:35]
On a horse that was black as the night[00:01:38]
Sent an officer to tell[00:01:41]
Travis to surrender[00:01:44]
Travis answered with a shell[00:01:46]
And a rousing rebel yell[00:01:48]
Santa anna turned scarlet[00:01:50]
Play deguello he roared[00:01:53]
I will show them no quarter[00:01:55]
Every one will be put to the sword[00:01:57]
One hundred and eighty five[00:02:01]
Holding back five thousand[00:02:03]
Five days six days eight days ten[00:02:05]
Travis held and held again[00:02:08]
Then he sent for replacements[00:02:09]
For his wounded and lame[00:02:12]
But the troops that were coming[00:02:14]
Never came never came never came[00:02:16]
Twice he charged and blew recall[00:02:20]
On the fatal third time[00:02:22]
Santa anna breached the wall[00:02:24]
And he killed 'em one and all[00:02:27]
Now the bugles are silent[00:02:29]
And there's rust on each sword[00:02:31]
And the small band of soldiers[00:02:33]
Lie asleep in the arms of the lord[00:02:36]
In the southern part of texas[00:02:49]
Near the town of san antone[00:02:52]
Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone[00:02:54]
And he sees the cattle grazing where a century before[00:03:00]
Santa anna's guns were blazing and the cannons used to roar[00:03:04]
And his eyes turn sorta misty[00:03:09]
And his heart begins to glow[00:03:11]
And he takes his hat off slowly[00:03:13]
To the men of alamo[00:03:17]
To the thirteen days of glory[00:03:22]
At the siege of alamo[00:03:28]
Catch our hops[00:03:45]
