So We Give Up Our Alamo

So, we give up our Alamo
my little Davy Crocketts.

This isn’t the way it’s supposed to end
I know

But Santa Ana’s financiers
are already coming over the walls

and I can’t ask any dog here to stay
and be repossessed

Hold out if you want and fight on
but, as for me, I’m saving

my powder for San Jacinto.
