Southwestward Lyrics - Johnny Cash

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
