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

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 hisself a legend for evermore

Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier

He give his word and he give his hand

That his Injun friends could keep their land

And 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 his grief was gall

In 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 king of the wild frontier

He went off to Congress and served a spell

Fixing up the Government and laws as well

He 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 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 right in to the West

Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier

Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier
