The Alamo
There was a man named Davy Crockett.
He came from Tennessee.
He wanted to help the Texans
Along with Jim Bowie.
Texas's army was small but strong.
The Mexicans had more men.
When the two sides met in battle
Mexico thought they would win.
The battle did not last very long.
Jim Bowie and Crockett died.
When all of the fighting was over
Women and children cried
Texas lost the Alamo.
They fought at San Jacinto.
They got their revenge and yelled the phrase
Remember the Alamo!
