On The Alamo

Isham Jones

Verse 1:

Lonely through the long weary day,

Lonely in the gloaming I stray,

And in fancy I am down where

Someone's waiting for me.

Down there where I long to be roaming,

Noonlight tells me love's dream is o'er,

Moonlight finds me wand'ring once more.



Chorus:

Where the moon swings low,

On The Alamo,

In a garden fair where roses grow.

In the tender light of the summer night,

I can see her wander to and fro.

For she said I'll wait by the garden gate,

On the night I said I love you so.

And in all my dreams it seems I go,

Where the moon swings low

On The Alamo.
