The Ballad of Davy Crockett - The Mellomen

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee

greenest state in the land of the free

Raised in the woods so’s he knew ev’ry tree

kilt him a b’ar 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 an' peace was in store

An' while he was handlin' this risky chore

made hisself a legend forevermore

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier!

He went off to Congress an' served a spell

fixin' up the Govern’ment an' laws as well

Took over Washin’ton so I heered tell

an' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell

Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear!

When he come home his politickin' was done

an' the western march had just begun

So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun

an' lit out a-grinnin' to follow the sun

Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneers!
