	The bugle call Deguello provides an introduction to this song which was written in the 1950s, by Jane Bowers, and was popularized by The Kingston Trio and Donovan. The tune itself fits perfectly to the notes of the chanter of the bagpipes. This song, although one of the most recently written ones about the Alamo, provides an appropriate introduction to the rest of the album.

	Lyrics The bravest of brave were challenged by Travis to die By the line that he drew with his sword ere the battle was nigh The man who would fight till his death cross over But he who would live better fly And on that day died one hundred and eighty nine Chorus High up Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below So the rest of Texas will know And Remember the Alamo Jim Bowie lay dying his powder was ready and dry From flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply And brave Davy Crockett was valiantly fighting The battle was fierce in his eye For Texas and freedom were men more than willing to die Chorus A courier sent from the battle scene bloody and loud With words of farewell, the letters he carried were proud Fear not little darling my dying If Texas is sovereign and free We'll never surrender and always will liberty be
