The Ballad Of Davy Crockett by Tennessee Ernie Ford


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
