If we ever leave the Alamo © Vic Arnold 2013 B
V1
My darling I can't be with you this day but I'm thinking of you some.
We're trapped inside the Alamo, maybe there's a battle soon to come.
I've made many new friends here, they came from far and wide.
We're awaiting reinforcements now. That'll surely turn the tide.
V2
Dear general I am begging, come with haste.
We are few but we are brave.
Their guns are getting closer. I fear the walls won't last another day.
To the people of Texas. To all Americans in this world.
We never will surrender, we'd sooner perish by the sword.
CH.1
For thirteen days we've fired our guns.
It's too late now for us to run.
We pray that god will save our souls
If we ever leave the Alamo
V3
We can hear you Santa Anna, saying we can never win this fight.
We see your soldiers moving and your bayonettes flashing
in the early light.
You'll storm across our barricades like rushing waves along the shore
But remembering the Alamo will haunt you for evermore.
CH.2
For thirteen days we've stood our ground
Bravely as the cannons pound.
We pray that god will save our souls
If we ever leave the Alamo
Inst.
... But we'll never leave the Alamo
