Fess Parker lyrics : "Ballad of Davy Crockett"

Born'd on a mountain top in Tennessee 1 ,
Greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree,

Kilt him a b'ar 2 when he was only three.
((Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!))


Fought single-handed through the Injun War,
Till the Creeks 3 was whipped an' the peace was in store.
While he was handlin' this risky chore,

Made hisself a legend forevermore.
((Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear!))


(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 a crack in the Liberty Bell.)
((Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!))


When he come home, his politickin' done,
Why, the western march had just begun.
So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun,

An' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun.
((Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer!))


He heard of Houston an' Austin an' so,
(To the Texas plains he jest had to go.)
(Where freedom was a-fightin' another foe, )

((An' they needed him at the Alamo.))
((Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!))
