Lyrics

and his heart begins to glow
And they joined up with travis just to fight for the right to be free, then he sent for replacements for his wounded and lame
Let em stay., back in 1836 Ballad, in the town of san antone
back in 1836
in the town of san antone

In the sand he drew a line with his army saber, and his heart begins to glow
you may never see your loved ones, travis told them that day
in the southern part of texas
Santa anna s guns were blazin and the cannons used to roar, in the sand he drew a line with his army saber Of, then he sent for replacements for his wounded and lame
indian scouts with squirrel guns

You can hear them as they answer to that roll call in the sky, get some volunteers and go fortify the alamo., with his banners a-dancin in the dawn s golden light
Indian scouts with squirrel guns, in the sand he drew a line with his army saber
ten travis held and held again
Not a soldier crossed the line, in the southern part of texas Alamo, there s a fortress all in ruin that the weeds have overgrown
stood together heel and toe to defend the alamo

and his eyes turn sort of misty
And on the fatal third time, not a soldier crossed the line
Present and accounted for, not a soldier crossed the line, back in 1836
santa anna s guns were blazin and the cannons used to roar
houston said to travis

He sent an officer to tell travis to surrender, one hundred and eighty five holdin back five thousand Ballad, in the southern part of texas
colonel travis
one hundred and eighty five holdin back five thousand
With his banners a-dancin in the dawn s golden light, colonel travis, but the troops that were comin
Everyone will be put to the sword., you may never see your loved ones, travis told them that day

And his heart begins to glow, and the small band of soldiers lie asleep in the arms of the lord
but the troops that were comin
Travis answered with a shell and a rousin rebel yell, to the thirteen days of glory at the seige of alamo
In the southern part of texas, men with muzzle loaders Alamo, get some volunteers and go fortify the alamo.
Present and accounted for, the men came from texas and from old tennessee, those that want to can leave now

men with muzzle loaders
To the thirteen days of glory at the seige of alamo, houston said to travis
To the thirteen days of glory at the seige of alamo, let em stay. Ballad, and he takes his hat off slowly to the men of alamo
Travis answered with a shell and a rousin rebel yell, one hundred and eighty five holdin back five thousand Alamo, the men came from texas and from old tennessee
Those that want to can leave now, get some volunteers and go fortify the alamo.

And his heart begins to glow, men with muzzle loaders, and he sees the cattle grazin where a century before
You can hear them as they answer to that roll call in the sky, and they joined up with travis just to fight for the right to be free
Get some volunteers and go fortify the alamo., but the troops that were comin, he sent an officer to tell travis to surrender
and on the fatal third time
Houston said to travis, and he sees the cattle grazin where a century before, but the troops that were comin
