Ballad of Davy Crockett Lyrics
(Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier!)Born on a mount top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier!
Fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store
An' while he was handlin' this risky chore
He Made himself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
When he's lost his love an' his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
An' lose himself in the forests tall
But he answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crockett, Choice of the Wild Frontier!
He went off to Congress an' served a spell
Fixin' up the Govern'ments an' laws as well
Took over Washin'ton so we heered tell
An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, Serving its country well
When he come home his politickin' done
While the big 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, leadin' of pioneers!
His land is biggest an' his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all an' meetin' the test
Followin' his legend right into the West
Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier!
King of the Wild Frontier!
