The Ballad of Davy Crockett |
| Born on a mountain top in Tennessee |
| Greenest state in the land of the free |
| Raised in the woods so’s he knew every tree |
| Kilt him a bar when he was only three |
| Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier |
| In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose |
| Addin' redskin arrows to the country’s woes |
| Now Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows |
| So he shoulders his rifle and off he goes |
| Davy Davy Crockett the man who don’t know fear |
| Off through the woods he’s a marchin' along |
| Makin' up yarns and a singin' a song |
| Itchin' for fightin' and rightin' a wrong |
| He’s crazy as a bar and twice as strong |
| Davy Davy Crockett the buckskin buccaneer |
| Fought single-handed through the Injun War |
| Till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store |
| An' while he was handlin' this risky chore |
| Made hisself a legend for evermore |
| Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier |
| When he come home his politickin' done |
| The western march had just begun |
| So he packed his gear and his trusty gun |
| And lit out grinnin' to follow the sun |
| Davy Davy Crockett leading the pioneer |
| He heard of Houston and Austin so |
| To the Texas plains he just had to go |
| Where freedom was fightin' another foe |
| And they needed him at the Alamo |
| Davy Davy Crockett the man who don’t know fear |
| His land is the biggest and his land is best |
| From grassy plains to the mountain crest |
| He’s ahead of us all meetin' the test |
| Following his legend in to the West |
| Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier |
