The Ballad Of Davy Crockett
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
