Lyrics The Ballad of Davy Crockett - The Mellomen

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 ev’ry tree
kilt him a b’ar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
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 forevermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
He went off to Congress an' served a spell
fixin' up the Govern’ment an' laws as well
Took over Washin’ton so I heered tell
an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!
When he come home his politickin' was done
an' the western march had just begun
So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun
an' lit out a-grinnin' to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneers!
