Ballad Of Davy Crockett
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 bar when he was only three Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose Addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes Now Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows So he shoulders his rifle and off he goes Davy Davy Crockett the man who don't know fear Off through the woods he's a marchin' along Makin' up yarns and a singin' a song Itchin' for fightin' and rightin' a wrong He's crazy as a bar and twice as strong Davy Davy Crockett the buckskin buccaneer 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 for evermore Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier [ banjo ] When he come home his politickin' done 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 leading the pioneer SongtexteHe heard of Houston and Austin so To the Texas plains 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 His land is the biggest and his land is best From grassy plains to the mountain crest He's ahead of us all meetin' the test Following his legend in to the West Davy Davy Crockett king of the wild frontier Aus Songtexte Mania
