The Ballad Of Davy Crockett

Lyrics

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 through 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,the king of the wild frontier
 Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
