The Ballad Of Davy Crocket
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greatest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
I killed him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett
He's king of the wild frontier
Off through the woods he's marchin' along
Makin' up yarns and singin' a song
Itchin' for fightin' and rightin' a wrong
He's ringy as a bear and twice as strong
Davy, Davy Crockett
Oh, the buckskin buccaneer, yeah
Lookin' for the place where the air smells clean
Where the trees are tall and the grass is green
Where the fish is fat and an unouched stream
The teemin' woods is the hunter's dream
Davy, Davy Crockett
Oh, the king of the wild frontier
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixin' up the Government and the laws as well
Took over Washington, so we here tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett
Oh, the buckskin buccaneer, yeah
Davy, Davy Crockett
The king of the wild frontier
He heard of Houston and Austin and so
To the Texas flames he just had to go
Where freedom was fightin' another foe
And they needed him at the Alamo
Davy, Davy Crockett
Yes, the king of the wild frontier
His land is biggest and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all meetin' the test
Followin' his legend into the west
Davy, Davy Crockett
Yes, the king of the wild frontier, yeah
Davy, Davy Crockett
Greatest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
I killed him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett
He's king of the wild frontier
Off through the woods he's marchin' along
Makin' up yarns and singin' a song
Itchin' for fightin' and rightin' a wrong
He's ringy as a bear and twice as strong
Davy, Davy Crockett
Oh, the buckskin buccaneer, yeah
Lookin' for the place where the air smells clean
Where the trees are tall and the grass is green
Where the fish is fat and an unouched stream
The teemin' woods is the hunter's dream
Davy, Davy Crockett
Oh, the king of the wild frontier
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixin' up the Government and the laws as well
Took over Washington, so we here tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett
Oh, the buckskin buccaneer, yeah
Davy, Davy Crockett
The king of the wild frontier
He heard of Houston and Austin and so
To the Texas flames he just had to go
Where freedom was fightin' another foe
And they needed him at the Alamo
Davy, Davy Crockett
Yes, the king of the wild frontier
His land is biggest and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all meetin' the test
Followin' his legend into the west
Davy, Davy Crockett
Yes, the king of the wild frontier, yeah
Davy, Davy Crockett
