Coonskin Cap
Born on the banks of the Nolichucky
In a state called Franklin now East Tennessee
A man of conviction who never backed down
Whether back in the woods or that Washington town
He was a crack shot wonder
A buckskin bear hunter
A gentleman who hailed from the cane
Had freedom on his mind
And a heavy ax to grind
Against Old Hickory
He put the Alamo on the map
He was a legend in a coonskin cap
They called for a vote and he took a stand
To let the red man stay on his sacred land
His hometown objected couldn't get reelected
So he picked up Ol Betsy and headed to Texas
He was a crack shot wonder
A buckskin bear hunter
A gentleman who hailed from the cane
Had freedom on his mind
And a heavy ax to grind
Against Old Hickory
He put the Alamo on the map
He was a legend in a coonskin cap
He was a crack shot wonder
A buckskin bear hunter
A gentleman who hailed from the cane
Had freedom on his mind
And a heavy ax to grind
Against Old Hickory
He put the Alamo on the map
He was a legend in a coonskin cap
In a state called Franklin now East Tennessee
A man of conviction who never backed down
Whether back in the woods or that Washington town
He was a crack shot wonder
A buckskin bear hunter
A gentleman who hailed from the cane
Had freedom on his mind
And a heavy ax to grind
Against Old Hickory
He put the Alamo on the map
He was a legend in a coonskin cap
They called for a vote and he took a stand
To let the red man stay on his sacred land
His hometown objected couldn't get reelected
So he picked up Ol Betsy and headed to Texas
He was a crack shot wonder
A buckskin bear hunter
A gentleman who hailed from the cane
Had freedom on his mind
And a heavy ax to grind
Against Old Hickory
He put the Alamo on the map
He was a legend in a coonskin cap
He was a crack shot wonder
A buckskin bear hunter
A gentleman who hailed from the cane
Had freedom on his mind
And a heavy ax to grind
Against Old Hickory
He put the Alamo on the map
He was a legend in a coonskin cap
