Added to their thirteen colonies
Tennessee, Vermont, Kentucky
Louisiana and Ohio
Mississippi, Indiana
Alabama, Maine, Missouri
Added Arkansas and Michigan
Added Florida and Texas
And in Texas
Five thousand men under Santa Anna
Had crossed the Rio Grande
Headed for San Antonio
David Crockett left Tennessee
With the volunteers
Headed for San Antonio
At a Spanish mission near San Antonio
They met a knife-fighter and a gambler
Named Jim Bowie and a Britisher named Travis
A hundred and eighty Americans
Against five thousand to the death
