Across the Alley from the Alamo is a song written in 1946 by Joe Greene, which has become a jazz standard. The Mills Brothers' recording of the song scored #2 on the U.S. Billboard chart in 1947, and there were cover versions that same year by Woody Herman and his Orchestra and by Stan Kenton and his Orchestra with vocalist June Christy.^[1] The Mills Brothers covered it on their 1958 album The Mills Bros. – Great Hits.^[2] It also features on albums such as Ella Fitzgerald's Live at Mister Kelly's (1958)^[3] and Patti Austin's The Real Me (1988).^[4] It was recorded by The Three Suns, 1947, RCA Victor 20-2272-B.^[5]

It was also recorded by The Skyrockets Orchestra with vocalist Dick James in 1948, and Asleep at the Wheel in 1985.

Greene's whimsical lyrics (said to have been inspired by a dream he had), concern a Navajo Indian and his pinto pony. The pair have an easygoing life until they take a walking vacation along a railroad track and are never seen again.
