Alamo versuri

Alamo lyrics by Lorne Greene

Intro
Whoever heard of Bunker Hill and Bull Run?
Or little Bighorn?
Before the bravery of men made them names to be remembered
Well none will be remembered longer than the Alamo of Texas

Verse 1
Now let the children gather around
To hear my song of praise
Honoring the heroes of early Texas days

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remembеr the Alamo)

Verse 2
Was back in 1863, had a mission in San Antone
It was a story of some Tеxans, who fought and died alone

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Verse 3
Santa Anna’s thousands were enough to make him flinch
But a hundred and eighty Texans, they didn’t give an inch

Refrain

(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Verse 4
For thirteen days those thousands attacked and were repelled
A hundred and eighty Texans fired back and held

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Verse 5
But then at last, the enemy using canon shell
Burst through the mission’s crumbling walls
And turned it into hell

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Verse 6
Jim Bowie on his sickbed
Crockett at the door
They fought till they were lie and dead
On the stone cold floor

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Verse 7
From the battered chapel rose a cry
Conceived in death and pain
‘Remember the Alamo’ they cried
‘So we won’t have died in vain’

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Bridge
In a place called San Jacinto
Just thirty days from then
Santa Anna, he was whipped
By Houston and his men

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Verse 8
Those Texans of the Alamo
Gave up their lives to bring
Liberty to Texas, and the sound of freedoms ring

Refrain
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)

Outro
A hundred and eighty dead men
But there’s no call for tears
For they will be remembered
For a million Texas years
(Ooh, the Alamo)
(Remember the Alamo)
