The Ballad Of Davy Crocket |
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 |
