The Ballad of Davy Crockett

歌詞

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
