<b>The Ballad Of Davy Crockett</b> by <i>The Voices Of Walter Schumann</i><br />

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.
