The Ballad of the AlamoMarty Robbins
In the southern part of Texas, in the town of San Antone,There's a fortress all in ruin that the weeds have overgrown.You may look in vain for crosses and you'll never see a one,But sometime between the setting and the rising of the sun,You can hear a ghostly bugle as the men go marching 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 Dickenson, 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.
Indian scouts with squirrel guns, men with muzzle loaders,Stood together heel and toe to defend the Alamo.
"You may never see your loved ones," Travis told them that day."Those that want to can leave now, those who'll fight to the death, let 'em stay.“
In the sand he drew a line with his army sabre,Out of a hundred eighty five, not a soldier crossed the line.
With his banners a-dancin' in the dawn's golden light,Santa Anna came prancin' on a horse that was black as the night.
He sent an officer to tell Travis to surrender.Travis answered with a shell and a rousin' rebel yell.
Santa Anna turned scarlet: "Play Degüello," he roared."I will show them no quarter, everyone will be put to the sword."
One hundred and eighty five holdin' 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 comin' never came, never came, never came.
Twice he charged, then blew 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 Pinto rides a cowboy all alone.
And he sees the cattle grazin' where a century before,Santa Anna's guns were blazin' and the cannons used to roar.And his eyes turn sort of 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 seige of Alamo.

Sutter's Mill In the spring of forty-sevenSo the story it is toldOld John Sutter went to the Mill siteFound a piece of shinin' gold. Well, he took it to the cityWhere the word like wildfire spreadOld John Sutter soon came to wishin'He'd left that stone in the river bed. Oh, they came like herds of locustsEvery woman, child and manIn their lumberin' connestogasThey left their track upon the land. Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would beg the Lord for their deliverance Some would curse John Sutter's Mill. Well, they came from New York CityAnd they came from Alabam'With their dream of findin' fortuneIn this wild unsettled land.
Well, some fell prey to hostile arrowsAs they tried to cross the plainsAnd some were lost in the Rocky MountainsWith their hands froze to the reins. Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would beg the Lord for their deliverance Some would curse John Sutter's Mill. Some pushed on to CaliforniaOthers stopped to take their restAnd by the spring of eighteen-sixtyThey had opened up the west. And then the railroad came behind themAnd the land was plowed and tameWhen old John Sutter went to meet his MakerWith not one penny to his name. Some would fail and some would prosper Some would die and some would kill Some would beg the Lord for their deliverance Some would curse John Sutter's Mill.
