Ballad Of Dacy Crcokett

Ballad Of Dacy Crcokett - Eddy Arnold

Written by：Tom Blackburn/George Burns

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee

Greenest state in the land of the free

Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree

Kilt him a bar when he was only three

Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier

Eighteen thirteen the creeks uprose

Addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes

Now Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows

So he shoulders his rifle and off he goes

Davy Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear

Off through the woods he's a marchin' along

Makin' up yarns and a singin' a song

Itchin' for fightin' and rightin' a wrong

He's crazy as a bar and twice as strong

Davy Davy Crockett the buckskin buccaneer

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

Made hisself a legend for evermore

Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier

When he come home his politickin' done

The western march had just begun

So he packed his gear and his trusty gun

And lit out grinnin' to follow the sun

Davy Davy Crockett leading the pioneer

He heard of Houston and Austin so

To the Texas plains he just had to go

Where freedom was fightin' another foe

And they needed him at the Alamo

Davy Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear

His land is the biggest and his land is best

From grassy plains to the mountain crest

He's ahead of us all meetin' the test

Following his legend in to the west

Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier
