《Ballad of the Alamo》歌词

[00:00:00] Ballad of the Alamo - Marty Robbins/D.R

[00:00:04] In the southern part of texas

[00:00:07] In the town of san antone

[00:00:09] There's a fortress all In ruins

[00:00:11] That the weeds have overgrown

[00:00:14] You may look In vain for crosses

[00:00:17] And you'll never see a-one

[00:00:19] But sometimes between the setting

[00:00:21] And the rising of the sun

[00:00:23] You can hear a ghostly bugle

[00:00:26] As the men go marching by

[00:00:28] You can hear them as they answer

[00:00:30] To that roll call In the sky

[00:00:34] Colonel travis davy crockett

[00:00:36] And a hundred eighty more

[00:00:38] Captain dickinson jim bowie

[00:00:41] Present and accounted for

[00:00:44] Back In 1836 houston said to travis

[00:00:48] Get some volunteers and go

[00:00:51] Fortify the alamo

[00:00:53] Well the men came from texas

[00:00:55] And from old tennessee

[00:00:57] And they joined up with travis

[00:00:59] Just to fight for the right to be free

[00:01:03] Indian scouts with squirrel guns

[00:01:05] Men with muzzle-loaders

[00:01:07] Stood together heel and toe

[00:01:10] To defend the alamo

[00:01:12] You may never see your loved ones

[00:01:14] Travis told them that day

[00:01:16] Those who want to can leave now

[00:01:18] Those who fight to the death let them stay

[00:01:22] In the sand he drew a line

[00:01:24] With his army sabre

[00:01:26] Out of a hundred eighty five

[00:01:29] Not a soldier crossed the line

[00:01:31] With his banners a-dancing

[00:01:33] In the dawn's golden light

[00:01:35] Santa anna came prancing

[00:01:37] On a horse that was black as the night

[00:01:41] Sent an officer to tell

[00:01:43] Travis to surrender

[00:01:45] Travis answered with a shell

[00:01:48] And a rousing rebel yell

[00:01:50] Santa anna turned scarlet

[00:01:52] Play deguello he roared

[00:01:54] I will show them no quarter

[00:01:56] Every one will be put to the sword

[00:02:00] One hundred and eighty five

[00:02:02] Holding back five thousand

[00:02:04] Five days six days eight days ten

[00:02:07] Travis held and held again

[00:02:09] Then he sent for replacements

[00:02:11] For his wounded and lame

[00:02:13] But the troops that were coming

[00:02:15] Never came never came never came

[00:02:19] Twice he charged and blew recall

[00:02:21] On the fatal third time

[00:02:24] Santa anna breached the wall

[00:02:26] And he killed them one and all

[00:02:28] Now the bugles are silent

[00:02:30] And there's rust on each sword

[00:02:32] And the small band of soldiers

[00:02:36] Lie asleep In the arms of the lord

[00:02:48] In the southern part of texas

[00:02:51] Near the town of san antone

[00:02:53] Like a statue on his pinto rides a cowboy all alone

[00:02:59] And he sees the cattle grazing

[00:03:01] Where a century before

[00:03:03] Santa anna's guns were blazing

[00:03:05] And the cannons used to roar

[00:03:08] And his eyes turn sorta misty

[00:03:10] And his heart begins to glow

[00:03:12] And he takes his hat off slowly

[00:03:16] To the men of alamo

[00:03:21] To the thirteen days of glory

[00:03:27] At the siege of alamo
