Bud & Travis
Bud & Travis - Ballad Of The Alamo songtekst
Je score:
In the Southern part of Texas Near the town of San Antone Like a statue on his pony Rides a cowboy all alone And he sees the cattle grazing Where a century before Santa Anna's guns were blazing And the cannons used to roar You can hear a ghostly bugle As the men go marching by You can hear 'em as they answer To that roll call in the sky Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett And a hundred eighty more Captain Dickenson, Jim Bowie Present and accounted for Back in eighteen thirty-six Gouston said to Travis Get some volunteers and Go fortify the Alamo You may never see your loved ones Travis told them that day Those that want to can leave now Those that fight to the death, let 'em stay Indian scouts with squirrel guns Men with muzzle loaders Stood together heel and toe To defend the Alamo With his banners a-dancing In the dawn's golden light Santa Anna came prancing on a horse That was black as the night A hundred eighty-nine brave men Holding back five thousand Five days, six days, eight days, ten Travis held and held again Then he sent for replacements For his wounded and lame But the troops that were coming Never came, never came, never came Twice he charged them to recall On the fatal third time Santa Anna breached the wall And he killed them one and all Now the bugles are silent And there's rust on each sword And the small band of soldiers Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord In the Southern part of Texas Near the town of San Antone Like a statue on his pony Rides a cowboy all alone And he sees the cattle grazing Where a century before Santa Anna's guns were blazing And the cannons used to roar And his eyes turn sorta misty And his heart begins to glow And he takes his hat off slowly To the men of Alamo To the men of Alamo To the men of Alamo
