The Ballad of Davy Crockett

The Ballad of Davy Crockett - Mac Wiseman

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's he knew ev'ry tree

Kilt him a b'ar 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's lost his love his grief was gall

And his heart he wanted to leave it all

And lose himself in the forests tall

But he answered instead his country's call

Davy davy crockett 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 seeing his country well

When he come home his politicking done

The big western march had just begun

He packed up 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 the grassy plains to the mountain crest

He's ahead of us all from a meeting the test

And following his legend bright into the west

Davy davy crockett king of the wild frontier

King of the wild frontier
