| Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
|
| Greenest state in the land of the free
|
| Raised in the woods so he knew ev’ry tree
|
| Kilt him a b’ar 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 an' 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 an' a-singin' a song
|
| Itchin' fer fightin' an' rightin' a wrong
|
| He’s ringy as a b’ar an' twict as strong
|
| Davy, Davy Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer
|
| Andy Jackson is our gen’ral’s name
|
| His reg’lar soldiers we’ll put to shame
|
| Them redskin varmints us volunteers’ll tame
|
| 'Cause we got the guns with the sure-fire aim
|
| Davy, Davy Crockett, the champion of us all
|
| Headed back to war from the ol' home place
|
| But Red Stick was leadin' a merry chase
|
| Fightin' an' burnin' at a devil’s pace
|
| South to the swamps on the Florida Trace
|
| Davy, Davy Crockett, trackin' the redskins down
|
| 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 himself a legend for evermore
|
| Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
|
| He give his word an' he give his hand
|
| That his Injun friends could keep their land
|
| An' the rest of his life he took the stand
|
| That justice was due every redskin band
|
| Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear
|
| Home fer the winter with his family
|
| Happy as squirrels in the ol country |
