The Voices Of Walter Schumann – The Ballad Of Davy Crockett lyrics

Davy, Davy Crockett. King of the wild frontier.
Davy, Davy Crockett. The buckskin buccaneer.

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. King of the wild frontier.
Davy, Davy Crockett. The buckskin buccaneer.

He fought single-handed through the injun war
Til the Creeks were whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handlin' this risky chore
Made himself a legend forevermore.

Davy, Davy Crockett. King of the wild frontier.

Now he lost his love and his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And loose himself in the forest tall
But he answered instead his country's call.

Davy, Davy Crockett. Beginning his campaign.

He went off to Congress to serve a spell
Fixin' up the government and laws as well
Took over Washington so we heard tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell.

Davy, Davy Crockett. King of the wild frontier.
Davy, Davy Crockett. Seeing his duty clear.

When he come home his politicing 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 pioneers.

He heard of Houston, and Austin and so
To the Texas plain he just had to go
Where Freedom was fightin' another foe
And they needed him at the Alamo.

Davy, Davy Crockett. The man who don't know fear.
Davy, Davy Crockett. King of the wild frontier.
