The Ballad of Davy Crockett |
| Born on a mountain in Tennessee |
| Greenest state in the land of the free |
| Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree |
| He killed him a b’ar when he was only three |
| Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier |
| Fought single-handed thru the Injun war |
| 'Till the Creeks was whipped and the peace was in store |
| And while he was a’handlin' this risky chore |
| Made hisself a legend forever more |
| Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don’t know fear |
| When he lost his love, his grief was gall |
| In his heart, he wanted to leave it all |
| And lose hisself in the forest tall |
| But he answered, instead, his country’s call |
| Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier |
| He went off to Congress and served a spell |
| Fixin' up the government and laws as well |
| Took over Washington, so I hear tell |
| And patched up a crack in the Liberty Bell |
| Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear |
| When he came home, his politickin' done |
| Why, the big western march had just begun |
| So he packed his gear and his trusty gun |
| And lit out a’grinnin' to follow the sun |
| Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer |
| His land is the biggest, his land is the best |
| From grassy plaines to the mountain crest |
| He’s ahead of us all and meetin' the test |
| And a’follern' his legend right into the west |
| Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier |
| Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier |
