The Ballad Of Davy Crockett (from "For Our Children" compilation)

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods, so he knew every tree
Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three

Davy, Davy Crockett, man who don't know fear
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 handling this risky chore
Made hisself a legend for evermore

Davy, Davy Crockett, holding his promises dear
Davy, Davy Crockett
And that's just half the story

He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the government and laws as well
Took over Washington, so I hear tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell

Davy, Davy Crockett, seeing his duty clear
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier

He give his word and he give his hand
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, holding his promise dear
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
King of the wild frontier

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
