Ballad of the Alamo Marty Robbins

In the southern part of Texas
In the town of San Antone
There's a fortress all in ruins
That the weeds have overgrown

You may look in vain for crosses
And you'll never see a one
But sometimes between the setting
And the rising of the sun
You can hear a ghostly bugle
As the men go marchin' by
You can hear them as they answer
To that roll call in the sky

Colonel Travis, Davy Crockett
And a hundred eighty more
Captain Dickinson, Jim Bowie
Present and accounted for

Back in 1836, Houston said to Travis
"Get some volunteers and go
Fortify the Alamo"
Well the men came from Texas
And from old Tennessee
And they joined up with Travis
Just to fight for the right to be free
