Ballad of the Alamo - Marty Robbins[00:00:00]

In the southern part of Texas[00:00:04]

In the town of San Antone[00:00:06]

There's a fortress all in ruins[00:00:08]

That the weeds have overgrown[00:00:10]

You may look in vain for crosses[00:00:14]

And you'll never see a-one[00:00:16]

But sometimes between the setting[00:00:18]

And the rising of the sun[00:00:20]

You can hear a ghostly bugle[00:00:23]

As the men go marching by[00:00:25]

You can hear them as they answer[00:00:27]

To that roll call in the sky[00:00:30]

Colonel Travis Davy Crockett [00:00:34]

And a hundred eighty more[00:00:36]

Captain Dickinson Jim Bowie[00:00:38]

Present and accounted for[00:00:40]

Back in 1836 Houston said to Travis[00:00:44]

"Get some volunteers and go[00:00:48]

Fortify the Alamo "[00:00:50]

Well the men came from Texas[00:00:52]

And from old Tennessee[00:00:54]

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 never see your loved ones "[00:01:11]

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 them stay "[00:01:18]

In the sand he drew a line[00:01:22]

With his army sabre[00:01:24]

Out of a hundred eighty five[00:01:26]

Not a soldier crossed the line[00:01:29]

With his banners a-dancing[00:01:30]

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[00:01:37]

Sent an officer to tell[00:01:41]

Travis to surrender[00:01:43]

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[00:01:52]

"I will show them no quarter[00:01:54]

Every one will be put to the sword "[00:01:57]

One hundred and eighty five[00:02:00]

Holding back five thousand[00:02:02]

Five days six days eight days ten[00:02:04]

Travis held and held again[00:02:07]

Then he sent for replacements[00:02:09]

For his wounded and lame[00:02:11]

But the troops that were coming[00:02:13]

Never came never came never came[00:02:16]

Twice he charged and blew recall[00:02:19]

On the fatal third time[00:02:22]

Santa Anna breached the wall[00:02:24]

And he killed them one and all[00:02:26]

Now the bugles are silent[00:02:28]

And there's rust on each sword[00:02:30]

And the small band of soldiers[00:02:32]

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[00:02:51]

Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone[00:02:53]

And he sees the cattle grazing[00:02:59]

Where a century before[00:03:01]

Santa Anna's guns were blazing[00:03:03]

And the cannons used to roar[00:03:06]

And his eyes turn sorta misty[00:03:08]

And his heart begins to glow[00:03:11]

And he takes his hat off slowly[00:03:12]

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]
