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
