Born on a mountain top in Tennessee, Greenest state in the land of the free Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree, Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier In 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 an' 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 an' a singin' a song Itchin' fer fightin' an' rightin' a wrong, He's ringy as a b'ar an' twic't as strong Davy, Davy Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer He 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 He give his word an' he give his hand, That his Injun friends could keep their land An' the rest of his life he took the stand, That justice was due every redskin band Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear He went off to Congress an' served a spell, Fixin' up the Govern'ments an' laws as well Took over Washin'ton so we heered tell, An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear When he come home his politickin' done, The big 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 fightin' another foe, An' they needed him at the Alamo Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear His land is biggest an' his land is best, From grassy plains to the mountain crest He's ahead of us all meetin' the test, Followin' his legend into the West Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
