The Sons of the Pioneers lyrics : "The Ballad of Davy Crocket"
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,
Killed him a bear when he was only three.
Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier.
He was the King of the Wild Frontier
In 1813 the Creeks uprose
Addin' redskin arrows to the countrie's woes
And injun fightin' is somethin' he knows
So he shouldered his rifle and there he goes.
Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who knows no fear
The man who knows no fear
He fought single handed through the Injun war,
Till the Creeks were whipped and peace was in store.
And while he was handling this risky chore,
Made himself a legend, forevermore.
Davy, Davy Crockett King of the Wild Frontier.
He was the King of the Wild Frontier
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixin' 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, seein' his duty clear.
Seeing his duty clear.
He done what he could and he made a dent
In the powerful state and the government
But his biggest chore and made intense
Was keepin' his eyes on the president,
Davy, Davy Crockett, Serving the country well.
Serving my country well.
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 a grinnin' to follow the sun.
Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.
He was the King of the Wild Frontier
