RED BANNER, NO QUARTER
EARLY ON A COLD MARCH MORNING
A HANDFUL OF MEN THEY TOOK A STAND
IN THE YEAR OF EIGHTEEN THIRTY SIX
WHEN A SABRE DREW A LINE IN THE SAND
AND IT WAS SANTA ANNA WHO GAVE THE ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
EVEN AS THE DAY WAS DAWNING
ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE MEN STOOD THEIR GROUND
THIRTEEN DAYS IN SAN ANTONIO
SUCH A FEARFUL SIGHT A DREADFUL SOUND
WHEN SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
SANTA ANNA HE GAVE THE ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
IT WAS VICTORY OR DEATH FOR THE VALIANT FEW
OUTNUMBERED AND OUT-GUNNED
AS SURRENDER AND BE SPARED AN ULTIMATUM THEY KNEW
WITH A CANNON SHOT BY TRAVIS IT WAS SHUNNED
SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
SANTA ANNA GAVE THE ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
A BLOODY BATTLE TO THE BITTER END
WHILE THE MEXICAN BAND PLAYED EL DEGÜELLO
NOW THE GUNS ARE SILENT AND THE SMOKE HAS CLEARED
TO THIS DAY TEXIANS ALL SAY REMEMBER THE ALAMO
IT WAS SANTA ANNA WHO GAVE THE ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
SANTA ANNA GAVE THE FINAL ORDER
FLY THE RED BANNER SHOW NO QUARTER
