Davy, Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier.
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree
Kilt him a bar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
Fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store
An' while he was handlin' this risky chore
He made hisself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
When he lost his love his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
An' 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 an' served a spell
Fixin' up the Govern'ment an' laws as well
Took over Washin'ton so we heered tell
An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, serving his country well.
When he come home his politickin' done
Why the big western march had just begun
So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun
An' lit out agrinnin' to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer!
His land is biggest an' his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all meetin' the test
And followin' his legend into the West
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!
King of the wild frontier.
