The story of the Alamo is quite a tale
forever etched in our minds
with 189 heroes that were brutally left behind
William Barret Travis, he was the first to fall
he gave his twenty six years of life, defending that North wall
James Bowie was down when he bled
laying with pneumonia on his sickbed
Davy Crockett found dead on the West side
...the men lost were all heroes , and Texas cried
General Antonio Lopez lost men as well
at the battle of the Alamo, or was it hell?
Over two thousand men gave their lives that day
at the command of El Generalissimo,just an hombre
General Santa Anna as a coward did flee
disguised as a peasant, but captured was he
The independence of Texas was hard fought and won
by men standing their ground and taking action
yes, the story of the Alamo is quite a tale
it shall be remembered forever without fail
a bitter bloody battle that made history
it shall not be forgotten, especially by me.
