Throw up a barricade!

You stay on that wall!

Do this mean what I think it do?

It do.

Aagh!

Aagh!

# Tennessee babe

with the sweet-sounding name

# Dear little rose of the South

# You are so sweet that

the neighbours all claim...

- Muchsimas gracias.

- Pues nada.

Where's Daddy, Mommy?

- # Sweet Lisa

- # Sweet Lisa

# Just look at the way you have grown

- # Oh, Lisa

- # Oh, Lisa

- # Dear Lisa

- # Dear Lisa

# Oh, Lisa, my baby

# My darling, my own

# Tennessee babe,

save your dimples for me

# Don't let a one get away

# Oh, Lisa, my darling

# Though you're only three

# You'll be a grand lady some day

Corneta!

- # Lisa

- # Oh, Lisa

- # Sweet Lisa

- # Sweet Lisa

# You'll be a grand lady some day

# Let the old men tell the story

# Let the legend grow and grow

# Of the thirteen days of glory

# At the Siege of Alamo

# Lift the tattered banners proudly

# While the eyes of Texas shine

# Let the fort that was a mission

# Be an everlasting shrine

# Once they fought to give us freedom

# That is all we need to know

# Of the thirteen days of glory

# At the Siege of Alamo

# Now the bugles are silent

# And there's rust on each sword

# And this small band of soldiers

# Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord

# Lie asleep in the arms of the Lord
