Lyrics

  1. ‘Way down South in San Antonio
    That’s the place they have the Alamo
    That’s the place they dance to pass the time away
    Both night and day they do that sway
    Place your arm around your lady’s waist
    Just to show the folks you’ve got good taste
    Music starts a playing and away you go
    Oh, oh, so slow, that’s the Alamo

Chorus
Oh, that Alamo Rag, that Alamo drag
Now honey if you think this talk if phoney
Take a trip to San Antony
Lawdy! I could just die
Whenever they cry, play the Alamo Rag

  1. San Antonio’s the place to go
    Where they play that music, sweet and slow
    Where they play that music dreamy while you dance
    Oh, oh, oh that prance, puts you in a trance
    Ev’rybody’s happy when they glide
    Ev’rybody’s happy when they slide
    I’ll be dancing with my baby mighty soon
    Just hear them all croon, that Alamo tune
