The Ballad Of Davy Crockett Lyrics
Davy, Davy Crocket
The king of the wild frontier
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
And kilt him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier
He fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handling this risky chore
He made hisself a legend forever more
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier
Oh, when he lost his love, his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose hisself in the forests tall
But he answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crocket
The choice of the whole frontier
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the government and laws as well
Took over Washington, so we hear tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crocket
Serving his country well
When he come home, his politicking done

Why the big western march had just begun
He packed up his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out a grinning to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crocket
Leading a pioneer
His land is biggest and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crests
He's ahead of us all, a meeting the test
And following his legend right into the west
Davy, Davy Crocket
The king of the wild frontier
King of the wild frontier
