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
