March 6, 1836. One hundred eighty five..............holding back five thousand. five days, six days-eight days, ten, Travis held and held again.
With his banners a-dancin'
In the dawn's golden light
Santa Anna came prancing On a horse that was black as the night
now the cannons 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 pinto 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 thirteen days of glory
At the siege of Alamo
