Lyrics

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
And kilt him a bar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
He fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handlin' this risky chore
He made hisself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
Oh, when he lost his love, his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose hisself in the forests 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
Fixing up the Government and laws as well
Took over Washington so we heared tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, serving his country well
When he come home his politickin' done
The western march had just begun
He packed up his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out grinnin' to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, leading the pioneer
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
And following his legend right in to the West
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
King of the wild frontier
