Born on a mountain top in Tennessee<br />greenest state in the land of the free<br />raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree<br />kilt him a b'ar when he was only three<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!<br /><br />In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose<br />addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes<br />Now, Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows, <br />so he shoulders his rifle an' off he goes<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!<br /><br />Off through the woods he's a marchin' along<br />makin' up yarns an' a singin' a song<br />itchin' fer fightin' an' rightin' a wrong<br />he's ringy as a b'ar an' twict as strong<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer!<br /><br />Andy Jackson is our gen'ral's name<br />his reg'lar soldiers we'll put to shame<br />Them redskin varmints us Volunteers'll tame<br />'cause we got the guns with the sure-fire aim<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, the champion of us all!~<br /><br />Headed back to war from the ol' home place<br />but Red Stick was leadin' a merry chase<br />fightin' an' burnin' at a devil's pace<br />south to the swamps on the Florida Trace<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, trackin' the redskins down!<br /><br />Fought single-handed through the Injun War<br />till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store<br />An' while he was handlin' this risky chore<br />made hisself a legend for evermore<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!<br /><br />He give his word an' he give his hand<br />that his Injun friends could keep their land<br />An' the rest of his life he took the stand<br />that justice was due every redskin band<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear!<br /><br />Home fer the winter with his family<br />happy as squirrels in the ol' gum tree<br />bein' the father he wanted to be<br />close to his boys as the pod an' the pea<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his young'uns dear!<br /><br />But the ice went out an' the warm winds came<br />an' the meltin' snow showed tracks of game<br />An' the flowers of Spring filled the woods with flame<br />an' all of a sudden life got too tame<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, headin' on West again!<br /><br />Off through the woods we're ridin' along<br />makin' up yarns an' singin' a song<br />He's ringy as a b'ar an' twict as strong<br />an' knows he's right 'cause he ain' often wrong<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!<br /><br />Lookin' fer a place where the air smells clean<br />where the trees is tall an' the grass is green<br />where the fish is fat in an untouched stream<br />an' the teemin' woods is a hunter's dream<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, lookin' fer Paradise!<br /><br />Now he's lost his love an' his grief was gall<br />in his heart he wanted to leave it all<br />an' lose himself in the forests tall<br />but he answered instead his country's call<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, beginnin' his campaign!<br /><br />Needin' his help they didn't vote blind<br />They put in Davy 'cause he was their kind<br />sent up to Nashville the best they could find<br />a fightin' spirit an' a thinkin' mind<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, choice of the whole frontier!<br /><br />The votes were counted an' he won hands down<br />so they sent him off to Washin'ton town<br />with his best dress suit still his buckskins brown<br />a livin' legend of growin' renown<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, the Canebrake Congressman!<br /><br />He went off to Congress an' served a spell<br />fixin' up the Govern'ments an' laws as well<br />took over Washin'ton so we heered tell<br />an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!<br /><br />Him an' his jokes travelled all through the land<br />an' his speeches made him friends to beat the band<br />His politickin' was their favorite brand<br />an' everyone wanted to shake his hand<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, helpin' his legend grow!<br /><br />He knew when he spoke he sounded the knell<br />of his hopes for White House an' fame as well<br />But he spoke out strong so hist'ry books tell<br />an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!<br /><br />When he come home his politickin' done<br />the western march had just begun<br />So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun<br />an' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer!<br /><br />He heard of Houston an' Austin so<br />to the Texas plains he jest had to go<br />Where freedom was fightin' another foe<br />an' they needed him at the Alamo<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!<br /><br />His land is biggest an' his land is best<br />from grassy plains to the mountain crest<br />He's ahead of us all meetin' the test<br />followin' his legend into the West<br />Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!<br />--------------------------------------------------------
