This Is Texas Land   
Recorded by Boxcar Willie 
Written by Lecil Travis Martin
 
C                                 F           C
In eighteen hundred thirty six outside of San Antone 
                                  G7
Waved to the volunteers stood all alone
  C                        F           C
Surrounded by an army from down in Mexico 
                                    A#7           C
Determined they would take a church called the Alamo
 
                       F                C
General sent a message surrender to the man
                                                       G7
But the cannon that we fired could be heard to the Rio Grande
      C                          F              C
And a message was on the lips of each and every man
                              A#7           C
Well the hell with Santa Anna this is Texas land
 
F                            C
The hell with Santa Anna for this is Texas land
F                  C          G7
From the Red River to the Rio Grande
   C                                   F           C
We fought the bold for what we got now we'll fight again
                           A#7           C
So to hell with Santa Anna this is Texas land
 
                               F            C
The battle raged for many days and for many nights
                                                  G7
This brave group of volunteers fighting for their rights
    C                       F                C
And every man he understood and he seemed to know
                                  A#7                 C
That he was doomed to die in this place called the Alamo
 
                                 F             C
Now Travis gave his men a choice on that first day
                                            G7
And anyone that wanted to could proudly run away
      C                          F              C
But a message was on the lips of each and every man
                              A#7           C
Well the hell with Santa Anna this is Texas land
 
Repeat #3
 
                              A#7           C
Yeah the hell with Santa Anna this is Texas Land
