about

A true story about two Lancastrians who were found dead on the floor of the Alamo in 1836.

lyrics

Way down south
A long time ago
Sun went down
On the Alamo
Snakes stop crawling
Wind stood still
Whole town knew
There was gonna be a kill


They were a long way from home
In another man’s war
There was Lancashire blood
On a Texas floor


Mission bells rang
In San Antone
Men came to fight from Mexico
William Travis and his volunteers
Stared death in the face
They had no fear


They were a long way from home
In another man’s war
There was Lancashire blood
On a Texas floor


After seven long days
And seven hard nights
There was nobody left
Stood to fight
So for every star
And every stripe
An Englishman
Gave his life


They were a long way from home
In another man’s war
There was Lancashire blood
On a Texas floor


Way down south
A long time ago
Sun went down
On the Alamo
Way down south
A long time ago
