The Ballad of Davy |
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 |
