The Alamo
Performed by the Kingston Trio
Performed by Donovan

A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By a line that he drew with a sword as the battle drew nigh.
Them that crossed over the line was for glory and them
      that remained better fly
And over the line crossed a hundred and seventy-nine.

Chorus: Hey, up Santa Anna, they're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know and remember the Alamo.

Jim Bowie lay dying, his blood and his powder were dry,
His knife drawn and ready to take him a few in reply.
Young Davy Crockett lay laughing and dying, the blood
       and the sweat in his eyes
For Texas and freedom a man was more willing to die.

Chorus:

A courier came to the battle once bloody and loud
And found only skin and bones where he once left a crowd.
Fear not, little darling, of dying if the world be sovereign and free
For we'll fight to the last for as long as liberty be.

Chorus:
