Born on a mountain in Tennessee |
|
Greenest state in the land of the free |
|
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree |
|
He killed him a b'ar when he was only three |
|
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier |
|
Fought single-handed thru the Injun war |
|
'Till the Creeks was whipped and the peace was in store |
|
And while he was a'handlin' this risky chore |
|
Made hisself a legend forever more |
|
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear |
|
When he lost his love, his grief was gall |
|
In his heart, he wanted to leave it all |
|
And lose hisself in the forest tall |
|
But he answered, instead, his country's call |
|
Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier |
|
He went off to Congress and served a spell |
|
Fixin' up the government and laws as well |
|
Took over Washington, so I hear tell |
|
And patched up a crack in the Liberty Bell |
|
Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear |
|
When he came home, his politickin' done |
|
Why, the big western march had just begun |
|
So he packed his gear and his trusty gun |
|
And lit out a'grinnin' to follow the sun |
|
Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer |
|
His land is the biggest, his land is the best |
|
From grassy plaines to the mountain crest |
|
He's ahead of us all and meetin' the test |
|
And a'follern' his legend right into the west |
|
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier |
|
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier |
