The 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 ev'ry tree Kilt him a bar when he was only three Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier Fought single-handed through the Injun War 'Til the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store While he was handlin' this risky chore Made himself a legend for evermore Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier He give his word and he give his hand That his Injun friends could keep their land The rest of his life, he took the stand That justice was due every redskin band Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier He went off to Congress an' served a spell Fixin' up the Governments an' laws as well Took over Washington so we heered tell An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier When he come home, his politickin' done The western march had just begun So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun An' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier His land is biggest an' 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, king of the wild frontier Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier King of the wild frontier
