The Ballad of Davy Crocket

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee

Greatest state in the land of the free

Raised in the woods so he knew every tree

I killed him a bear when he was only three

Davy, Davy Crockett

He's king of the wild frontier

Off through the woods he's marchin' along

Makin' up yarns and singin' a song

Itchin' for fightin' and rightin' a wrong

He's ringy as a bear and twice as strong

Davy, Davy Crockett

Oh, the buckskin buccaneer, yeah

Lookin' for the place where the air smells clean

Where the trees are tall and the grass is green

Where the fish is fat and an unouched stream

The teemin' woods is the hunter's dream

Davy, Davy Crockett

Oh, the king of the wild frontier

He went off to Congress and served a spell

Fixin' up the Government and the laws as well

Took over Washington, so we here tell

And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell

Davy, Davy Crockett

Oh, the buckskin buccaneer, yeah

Davy, Davy Crockett

The king of the wild frontier

He heard of Houston and Austin and so

To the Texas flames he just had to go

Where freedom was fightin' another foe

And they needed him at the Alamo

Davy, Davy Crockett

Yes, the king of the wild frontier

His land is biggest and 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

Yes, the king of the wild frontier, yeah

Davy, Davy Crockett
