The Ballad Of Davy Crockett

Now, what do you think of that? 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 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' the peace was in store An' while he was a-handlin' this risky chore Made hisself a legend forevermore 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 An' lose hisself in the forests tall But he answered instead his country's call Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier He went off to Congress an' served a spell Fixin' up the Government an' laws as well Took over Washington so I've heared tell An' patched up a crack in the Liberty Bell Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear! When he come home, his politickin' done Why, the big 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 pioneer! His land is biggest, his land is best From grassy plains to the mountain crest He's ahead of us all and meetin' the test And a-followin' his legend right into the West Davy, Davy Crockett, the king of the wild frontier! Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
