Stout and High Songtext
von Asleep at the Wheel

They gave us all this land
And promised a new start
Those who′ve tried and lost
Now they say they want it back
Take it back they will
They say at any cost

Come on, Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on, Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

One by one, day by day
The enemy floods the plains
Must be thousands out there
Colonel Travis talks of help
I hope it's coming soon
Help is our only prayer


Come on, Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on, Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

The Sunday dawn burned fiery red
Deguello cuts the air
Look out boys, here they come
The more we kill the more there are
The closer that they get
The louder beats the drum

Come on, Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on, Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

The fighting at the northern wall
Seems to have stopped
Did you see Travis fall?
God, save Texas and my kids
Have mercy on my soul
Great God! They′re in the wall


Come on, Santa Anna
Give us your best try
Come on, Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high

These walls are stout and high

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come on, Santa Anna
These walls are stout and high
These walls are stout and high
