Supremes - The Ballad Of Davy Crocket lyrics

rate me

(Tom Blackburn/George Bruns) <br />

<br />

He was born on a mountain top in Tennessee<br />

Greenest state in the Land of the Free<br />

Raised in the woods so he knew every tree<br />

Killed himself a bear when he was only three<br />

Davy, Davy Crocket<br />

King of the wild fronteer<br />

<br />

He was a cardfan man<br />

His life was worthy<br />

He had love in his hands<br />

And his hands were dirty<br />

And the sky turned to fire<br />

On the day of his birth<br />

<br />

Now he lost his love and his grief was gall<br />

In his heart he wanted to leave it all<br />

And lose himself in the forest tall<br />

But answered instead his country's call<br />

Davy, Davy Crocket<br />

King of the Wild Fronteer<br />

<br />

He was a mighty big man<br />

In a mighty big land<br />

Had a mighty big heart<br />

And mighty big hand<br />

When his country called<br />

He met the demand<br />

<br />

Fought single-handed through the Injun War<br />

Till the creeks was swept and peace was in store<br />

And while he was handlin this risky chore<br />

Made himself a legend forevermore<br />

Davy, Davy Crocket<br />

King of the Wild Fronteer<br />

<br />

At night he walked to the woods alone<br />

Winding his beard<br />

Way back home<br />

A hero's curse, a man alone<br />

<br />

Looking for a place where the air smells clean<br />

Where the tree is tall and the grass is green<br />

Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream<br />

And teemin' woods is a hunter's dream<br />

Hey, Davy, Davy Crocket<br />

King of the Wild Fronteer<br />

<br />

He was a big, big man<br />

Davy, Davy Crocket<br />

King of the Wild Fronteer<br />

He sure loved those woods<br />

Davy, Davy Crocket<br />

King of the Wild Fronteer<br />

Mmm, Davy!
