[samosammo123]

I miss john wayne

[DENVERTZ007]

This version of the song,listen to the movie?

[LegoMovieMan44]

REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!!!

[oziel8738]

why do you stupid aericans always talk shit about Mexicans over te internet and not in our faces

[78Radagast]

@ericatwo: You gave the history of "Greensleeves", which is a completely different piece. The words are by Paul Francis Webster and the music by Dmitri Tiomkin and it was composed for the 1960 film, The Alamo. The fact that so many people assume it is an old folk song is part of the intended effect.

[teCASASTElaCAGASTE]

QUE BUENA COMBINACIÓN DE VOCES. SON IMPRESIONANTES!!!!!!!

[TheJDKNIGHT]

The Clinton and Obama regimes, of course, ould have supported the Mexicans as they did the kosovo Albanians

[ericartwo1]

This song originates in England in 1580. Music was added later by an unknown Italian.

[JAG312]

Deguello321 - There were a number of things I had wanted to say about you, but I just can't lower myself to your level. All I can say is that I really feel sorry for you.

[Shvetka63]

Tarantino took this melody for his "Basterds", and I couldn't understand, why the music was so... I can't find the right word... comfortable. The author is Dimitry Tiomkin, and this style reminds of the music for the Soviet films of 1940-1950-s...

[AceCokeBuster]

Deguello321 the counties of Texas are named after men who died at the Alamo. Check out how many of those county names are Hispanic names, my friend.

[Deguello321]

A time to be a slaver', a time to be racist'.

The slave codes of plantations are callin' me home.

'Twas so good to be a slave owner then, in a season of plenty,

When the whip was a cracken' as high as the sky.

A time just for killin', a time just for murder'.

A time to be lying' about slaves of your own.

'Twas so good to be a racist then, to be close to the plantation,

And to stand by your cotton fields at the moment we steal Mexican land.

[Deguello321]

The truth is those Alamo slaver bastards ran and never fought as in the fairy tale movie

[xoxoxo1966]

deguello. your a twat! its a piece of music

[Deguello321]

@xoxoxo1966

Your a zit you twit

[Deguello321]

Fucking Racist Alamo baastards

[liptonos]

@ZeppelinAlex Thanck's!

[liptonos]

A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'.

The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.

'Twas so good to be young then, in a season of plenty,

When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky.

A time just for plantin', a time just for ploughin'.

A time to be courtin' a girl of your own.

'Twas so good to be young then, to be close to the earth,

And to stand by your wife at the moment of birth.

A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'.

The green leaves of Summer are callin' me home.

[dinaalbertje]

@liptonos thank you for the text of this beautiful song

[liptonos]

Who sings this wonderful song? 

[TheDwertys]

Viva great American and Russian composer Dimitri Tiomkin. Freedom forever!

[evgen0055]

yankee go home !

[Johnson53]

Anybody know what Hornet Hag (jornetjag) was saying? Something about bastard South and Central Americans?

[ftjax]

I've always liked this Dimitri Tiompkin song by the Bros. 4

[charlynedved99]

yankees learned history only in Holywood, they suck..

[heckfricker]

We have the out of print original sony release soundtrack of The Alamo (1960). It's a wonderful release and very rare.

Just search Amazon:

The Alamo (1960) [Soundtrack] [Audio CD] Tiomkin, Dmitri

[reziztanze]

It's really all about who is prepared to fight and die for it. This is the Law of Mother Nature.

[HiTiLLiDiE602]

VIVA LA RAZA!!!!

[Poneutria]

@HiTiLLiDiE602 Eres hijo de punta muchacho. NOw...swim back to your little pitiful country and pick your own damn lettuce.

[cemoguel]

Interesting. You Justify a theft made with the force with historical assumptions agree to the collective memory of who they are descended from those who committed such an act. the Mexicans did not robbed the land of indigenous peoples in Texas. These lands were acquired by Spain. The Indian people supported to México against E.U. It is only history and the past it is the past.

[salem61]

@jlya2012 well the truth is you can`t hide anything these days thanks to advanced communication technology and ppl don`t buy this shit anymore....

[SUPAALBION]

the western nations are the good guys. they are democratic and they don't throw stones at their women and they have alcahol at their weddings. stone age east.

[bigtiti12]

@SUPAALBION

can't spell alcohol dough ;)

[HISTORICALTREKKER]

It is kind of strange when one knows history to see the duke as crockett. The duke was 6 foot 3 or so with crockett at maybe 5' 7".

Taller is more heroric? Audie Murphy is a true hero..

[cialis6]

Right!

[MultiSagitta]

Why are people always fighting on Youtube?

[llanto75]

because they're chicken not those guys in the alamo-they are parallel to those men in bataan and stalingrad...

[jermster17]

@llanto75 Do not forget the marines on wake Island !!!!

[llanto75]

@jermster17  oh,yeah, absolutely... wake isalnd, guadacanal, iwo jima and etc.marines the best fighting inthe u.s. armed forces.

[bigtiti12]

@MultiSagitta

cause they don't have the guts to do it in real life...

[alblynch]

americans idiots

[classicrocker2142]

I like this movie better than teh newer ine with billy bob thorten. (i mean the newer one was alright)

[MultiMary70]

beatifulllll

[carlenebrasil]

Excelent. ***** Thanks Milena Diego. Kisses

[leonardinaustin]

Thanks for the crock explanation. I should have looked in the kitchen at my WalMart

special!

Seems I have really strayed from the original subject.. I'l go back to relaxing with the music on You Tube.

[leonardinaustin]

ok. crock was a pun for Crockett. When

some people say 'that's a crock..' they usually mean 'a crock of s**t'. I do not know the origin of that saying but crock was meant to be a pun for Crockett.

I think you really have to dig deep to find 1960 Alamo. I am in my 60's and yeah, people really took it serious when I was a kid.

Now I think they would rather see Billy Bob Thornton et al portray the story.

[drexelur1]

Great movie! I have it on video, and it is always entertaining to watch. That said, I am tired of people saying things like: "Hey it wasn't 'historically accurate'...." and all that. Hey, it is a MOVIE! And try and tell me that all the WWII movies were "historically accuarate." As the song says "that's all we need to know about the 13 days of glory at the seige of Alamo."

[huckstered]

The glory is only in the movie. Not in real life. It is myth and it perpetuates

nonsense. The gutsy one were the ones

running into gunfire across open ground

not hiding behind an adobe wall taking aim at people coming at them. You will also need a copy of The wizard of oz, also every entertaining.

[leonardinaustin]

Are we talking about history or a pictures

representation of it? Maybe the Texans remminisced to some beautiful ballad but we don't know what these poor guys thought of that last night..

Don't mind hero worship like John Wayne blowing up the ammo with his last breath. (Not in the Mexican soldiers diary?)

Or Guinn 'big-boy ' Williams going over the wall with a Mexicans head around each arm. I enjoyed the picture. Just wierd why folks prophesize history had not 200 stopped 5000.

[huckstered]

Noone was stopped. Exaggerated heroics aside it is all B.S. What was prophesized? It is not even history and it

is passed how can it be prophesized upon.  It is all nonsense.

[leonardinaustin]

Okay, they were stalled, at least long enough for every town, river,county and granite building in downtown Austin to be named and glorified after these defenders. You are a fool to not call that history albeit not on the terms you desire.

I think wars are full of blown strategies. After the 1st setback, why didn't Santa Ana just maul these guys down with his full force then wait 10 to 15 days?

Not a good strategy in my book.

[huckstered]

War is not glorious, ask my son , a navy special forces vet, just back. He won't bother explaining. The winners removed

the Hussein Statues though. IT IS history, but the movie is dishonest. My " terms" are just truth

not the exaggerated heroics nonsense. Crockett was never called Davy that is

Disney stuff.He was arrested for public drunkeness his first nights arrival. No, not good stategy. He was an egomaniac and called himself the

"Napolean of the West".

[leonardinaustin]

I don't think you understand my position on the film. I DO think it is a crock (no pun intended) the usual John Wayne glory. I could only handle 5 minutes of the Green Berets. Calm down man.

I only liked the film score. I too read the diary from the Austin American Statesman interpretation of Davy Crockett's capture and subsequent execution.

But do you really think people accept the 1960 Alamo for it's historical accuracy? watching Alan Ladd's Iron Mistress will really blow your BP.

[huckstered]

People misunderstand me, I am calm, this is just expression of words.

The Green Berets was really, really bad,

yes. Yes, the old movie perpetuates myths. Especially for the very young. For many this is their only exposure to Texas history aside from a bit from books in elementary school. What crock?

[huckstered]

The Mexican Captains' "Log" included

directions taken en route, Crocketts death after the battle and other details. Crockett was executed on his knees and did not beg but accepted his own death without a word. Gutsy indeed. You misunderstand, I don't deny the valor on both sides, just the slanted

version of this fairy tale of a movie. Widmark was really bad.

[huckstered]

Of the three versions made since 1960,relative to honest portrayal, not counting

the made for T.V. versions(gunsmoke's James Arness- Crockett-about as fakey of a series) the one shown at the Imax theatres is the one easily closest to

reality. Of course it wasn't nearly as popular of trendy as the fictitious account. As one of the actors in the moive said

"Bunkam and Bosh, Tales for children).

Remember?

[klarpan]

@leonardinaustin Actually the Texans fought for the continuation of the republic of Mexico, against the dictatorship of Santa-Anna,not independence. That came later.

[nchq]

c'est toi?

[waterloo2you]

John Wayne's The Alamo contains the best horse falls in motion picture history.  That was back in the days when they could use trip wires.

[GorinRedspear]

look up 'charge of the british cavalry at waterloo'

now thats horses falling (and some guys under them as well'

[duckbutter1000]

it took a lot of balls to march up to a high wall with a flint lock rifle, if you turned and ran, your own troops would have shot you. pretty sad

[huckstered]

It took more to walk into direct fire across an open field with no stone wall in front of you, like...Gettysburg. Suicide.

[TrooperJohnSmith]

History is the story of conquest. Where did the Mexicans get the land? From the Indians, right? And when they migrated in, they conquered other, more primitive peoples. Plus, the Indian tribes fought amongst themselves for territory. Anyway, had Texas not won independence, it would today be just another piece of poor, corrupt, sad Mexico, whose population would be swimming the Red and Sabine Rivers to go to America.

The truth hurts!

[2020ric]

Trooper John..HOW COME you make simple SENSE..and our politicians...Just do NOT GET IT??? Bless you brother, and THANKS ..at least I know there is someone ELSE..like YOU, Trooper John.. who shares my EXACT SENTIMENT!!

[huckstered]

Your misinformation is encyclopedic.

Spanish did not commit genocide like the americans. Mexico has the fifth or sixth largest economy in the world. The north americans did - as hitler - to the American Indians and you gloat . Self-congratulation is for the small minded, and you posess a half intellect and are half-witted. The U.S. is losing its' middle class. I don't have time and you don't have intelligence or I would explain more.

[KUELK22]

@TrooperJohnSmith jaja das lastima pinche gringo tu pais es una mierda jajajaaj

[slynnyukon]

@TrooperJohnSmith you should know. Great comment. Sharon Lynn

[david128122]

@TrooperJohnSmith You may be right because if this was after 1850 you may be wrong because the Republic of Texes was free from the mexicans and the mexicans gained some of it from there indpendence from spain but they did go inland to california and the usa got that in 1860,70 and 1880 but by then america had growen by takeing oregon from british clamis over it.

[ismaeeeeeeel]

Totalmente de acuerdo con usted.

[beroth77]

@TrooperJohnSmith So to you someone stronger has the right to steal kill or whatever those who are weaker?Remember there's always someone much more stronger than you ...

[barkershill]

@TrooperJohnSmith Maybe the discovery of oil in Texas had more to do with the way things turned out than who won the war .

[YJMproductions]

i dont think it was nice of us as americans to steal land, but wadda ya gonna do its been years since then, it was a diffrent america then, america to me today is a very uniqe place to live, today i had a oppertunity to sit with many diffrent people from diffrent backrounds and religions, we all taught eachother how to say hello in our native tounge it was funny and interesting. great song to add as well.

[LinnTractorNut]

Perfect movie for May 5th! No, you can't press "2"......

[ftjax]

great sing-a-long drinking song by Dimitri Tiompkin,............

[jacoblandes]

I have not heard this song in almost 35 years. My brother (now almost 50) was in love with "The Alamo" and when he was in high school would get his hands on it, "borrow" a projector from school, and our family (all nine of us) would watch it, popcorn and all.

[jackso1800]

also is one of my favorist songs

[lentalbot]

I'd like an orchestral version played at my wake.

[p00thuy]

this is one of my favorist songs

[plhome123]

And my too

[kop1892]

the Gr8 J.W

[ruffinfan03]

One woed to describe this movie-incredible!

[Omieof4]

It has been a long time since we first saw this movie in San Antonio. The music is beautiful and I love this song each time I hear it. Had not thought about putting it together with war and those who were wanting to get back to life.

[llonathan]

vaya wuarreria se ve fatall
