The Ballad of Davy Crockett - Mac Wiseman
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 ev'ry tree
Kilt himself a b'ar when he was only three
Davy davy crockett king of the wild frontier
Fought single handed through the indian 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 his grief was gall
And his heart he wanted to leave it all
And to lose himself 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 hear tell
And patched up the crack in the liberty bell
Davy davy crockett serving his country well
When he come home his politicking done
The big western march had just begun
He packed his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out a grinning to follow the sun
Davy davy crockett leading the pioneers
His land is biggest and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all from a meeting the test
And following his legend right into the west
Davy davy crockett king of the wild frontier
King of the wild frontier
