Ballad Of Davy Crockett

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee Greenest state in the Land of the Free Raised in the woods so he knew every tree He killed himself a bear when he was only three Davy Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier Off through the woods he went marching along Making up yarns and a singing a song Itching for fighting always righting a wrong He was rangy as a bear and twice as strong Davy Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier Fought single-handed through the Indian War Till the tribes went west and peace was in store The rest of his life he took the stand That justice was due the redskin man Davy Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier He went off to Congress and served a spell Fixing up the government and laws as well Took over Washington so we heard tell And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell Davy Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier He heard of Houston and Austin and so To the Texas plains he just had to go Where the land was free and there was room to grow And he fought and died at the Alamo Davy Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier Davy's land is the biggest Davy's land is best From grassy plains to the mountain crest He's ahead of us all meeting the test Following his legend into the West Davy Davy Crockett King of the wild frontier
