The Ballad of Davy Crockett Songtext

von Fess Parker

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 handling this risky chore
He made himself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear

He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the Government and laws as well
He took over Washington so I hear tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, seeing his duty clear

When he'd come home, his politicking done
Why, the western march had just begun
So he packed his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out grinnin' to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer

He heard of Houston and Austin, and so
To the Texas plains he just had to go
There freedom was fightin' another foe
And they needed him at the Alamo
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
