The Ballad of Davy Crockett

The Ballad of Davy Crockett - Max Bygraves

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

He kilt him a bear

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

And peace was in store

And while he was handlin' this risky chore

He built himself a legend

Forevermore

Davy Davy Crockett

King of the wild frontier

He gave his word and he gave his hand

That his Injun friends could keep their land

The rest of his life

He took the stand

That justice was due every redskin band

Davy Davy Crockett

King of the wild frontier

Now he's lost his love and grief was gall

In his heart he wanted to leave it all

And lose himself in the forests tall

But no

He answered instead

His country's call

Davy Davy Crockett

King of the wild 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

King of the wild frontier

His land is biggest

And his land is best

From grassy plains to the mountain crest

He's ahead of us all

A meetin' the test

And following his legend right in to the west

Davy Davy Crockett

King of the wild frontier

Davy Davy Crockett

King of the wild frontier
