One hundred eighty texans fought four thousand comin' strong
Fought to save the alamo the battle twelve days long
Up from the south a general called up for their needs
The cannon fire ripped the air, shook them from their feet

He had him in an awful strange hold
Into the night they sent a man for houston's helping hand
When they returned the site they found made their anger burn
Lord the chill on the night that they died
He thought about his friends out there hung his head and cried.

Chorus:
Remember, remember, remember the alamo
Remember, remember, remember the alamo
The last brave man fought to the end the battle it was lost
Fought to save the alamo, their lives was what it cost
Lord the chill on the night that they died
He thought about his friends out there hung his head and cried.

Chorus:
Remember, remember, remember the alamo
Remember, remember, remember the alamo.

On the south side of chicago on
A freezin' winter night
In a crowded little bar room
The men were rollin' dice
I's winnin' by the hundreds
Just rakin' it in
When i looked up from the table
Big john lee was walkin' in.

Well he grabbed a chair beside me
Said "son count me in"
He looked over at my winnin's
He wore an evil grin
I'd heard of hs reputation
A fairly dangerous man
Yea i heard ol' big john lee
Would pull is gun whenever he can.

Chorus:
I rolled against john lee
He's a helluva man
He's hailed from dallas, texas
And he's known throughout the land.
Now the first hour went slowly
Yea tension buildin' up
John lee was drinkin' jack black
From a dixie cup
He was rollin' double too
Had me in a tight
Here comes john's dice again
Good god! it's snake eyes.

Chorus:
I rolled against john lee
He's a helluva man
He's hailed from dallas, texas
And he's known throughout the land.
Oh, the night was growin' colder
The crowd was wearin' thin
John lee put up his savings
Thinkin' he was gonna win
His hands were startin' to tremble
Money gettin' low
Ain't gonna let this georgia farm boy
Walk outa here with his dough.

Chorus:
I rolled against john lee
He's a helluva man
He's hailed from dallas, texas
And he's known throughout the land.

I left my home down in georgia and headed to the fisco bay
Didn't know what i was gonna do, but i knew i had somethin' to say
Because time yes and time again, i tried to speak my mind
I told ya once and i told ya twice, you never took my advice.

Chorus:
Oh, baby girl, honey you just, you just don't know
Think i'll pack my bags, i'm gonna get back on the road.
Now when ypou were mine i walked the line, did it right everyday
Now it's time i packed my bags and cut out on my way
Cause time and time again, i tried to speak my mind
I told ya once, i told ya twice, you never took my advice.

Chorus:
Oh, baby girl, honey you just, you just don't know
Think i'll pack my bags, i'm gonna get back on the road.

On the edge of sundown, a man rode into town
His clothes were old and dirty like the guns he wore low down
And as he rode the people stared, tried to look on him
He's the man who'll take your life, take your life to boothill

Sleeps by day and rides by night
Like a mongrel always lookin' for a fight
Got cold steel a bowie knife, just his way of life
He took no one, no not a sound, stares at the edge of town
Only time that he'll be found, is on the edge of sundown

Take you for your dollars babe, take you for your gold
Make your life so miserable, he's gonna leave you mean and cold
And then he'll head on out, to another town
The only time when he'll be found, is on the edge of sundown
Next time he'll be sundown.

He's a killer and a robber and he'll make you grieve
Shoot you in the back or in your sleep
Got no name or identity
Livin' in the wind, he's free---

Don't come at me with your stand, fight or die
Are you gonna feel it right between your eyes
Last man that crossed me they put him in the ground
Now get on out of here, don't need ya hangin' round

Chorus:
Nobody, nobody
Walks on me
If you get in my way, well you'll pay the price
If you ain't got nothin' to say take some advice
Last man to cross me yeah they took him on down
Was my buddy my .44 kept me around

Chorus:
Nobody, nobody
Walks on me
Did you ever feel look like a target waitin' to be hit?
I never thought i'd feel this way lord i'll admit
You can take my money, you can take my time
You can take out both eyes that still don't mean i'm blind.

Chorus:
Nobody, nobody
Walks on me
