(Jane Bowers)

A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die. A line that he drew with

his sword when the battle was nigh.
"The man who would fight to the death cross over but he who that would live
better fly,"

And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy-nine.

[Chorus:]

Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below, so the rest of Texas will
know and remember the Alamo!


Jim Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry. From flat on his back, Bowie
killed him a few in reply,
And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin'. The challenge was fierce in

his eye.
For Texas and freedom, a man more than willin' to die.


[Chorus]

A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud. With words of fare well in

the letters he carried were proud.
"Grieve not, little darlin', my dyin' if Texas is sovereign and free. We'll
never surrender and ever will liberty be!"


[Chorus]


Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo!
