Davy,	Davy	Crockett, King of the	wild front-	ier!

ln 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 an' 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 an' a singin' a song

Itchin' for fightin' an' rightin' a wrong

He's ringy as a b'ar an twict as strong.

Davy, Davy Crockett, The buckskin buccaneer!

Andy Jackson is our gen'ral's name

His reg'lar soldiers we'll put to shame

Them redskin varmints us volunteers 'll tame

'Cause we got the guns with the sure-fire aim.

Davy, Davy Crockett, The champion of us all!

Headed back to war from the ol' home place

But Red Stick was leadin' a merry chase

Fightin' an' burnin' at a devil's pace

South to the swamps on the Florida Trace.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Trackin' the redskins down!

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!

He give his word an' he give his hand

That his Injun friends could keep their land

An' the rest of his life he took the stand

That justice was due every redskin band.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Holdin' his promise dear!

Home fer the, winter with his family,

Happy as squirrels in the ol' gum tree,

Bein' the father he wanted to be,

Close to his boys as the pod an' the pea.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Holdin' his young 'uns dear!

But the ice went out an' the warm winds came

An' the meltin' snow showed tracks of game

An' the flowers of Spring filled the woods with flame

An' all of a sudden life got too tame.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Headin' on West again!

Off through the woods we're ridin' along

Makin' up yarn's an' singin' a song

He's ringy as a b'ar an' twict as strong

An 'knows he's right 'cause he aint often 'wrong.

Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear?

Off through the woods we're ridin' along

Makin' up yarns an' singin' a 'song

He's ringy as a b'ar an' twict as strong

An' knows he's right 'cause be ain't often wrong.

Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear!

Lookin' fer a place where the air smells clean

Where the trees is tall an' the grass is green

Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream

An' the teemin' woods is a hunter's dream.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Lookin' fer Paradise!

Now he'd lost his love an his grief was gall

In his heart he wanted to leave it all

An' lose himself in the forests tall

But he answered instead his country's call.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Beginnin' his campaign!

Needin' his help they didn't vote blind

They put in Davy 'cause he was their kind

Sent up to Nashville the best they could find

A fightin' Spirit an' a thinkin' mind.

Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear!

The votes were counted an' he won hands down

So they sent him off to Washin'ton town

With his best dress suit still his buckskins brown

A livin' legend of growin' renown.

Davy, Davy Crockett, The Canebrake Congressman!

He went off to Congress an' served a spell

Fixin' up the Gover'ment an' laws as well

Took over Washin'ton so we heered tell

An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Seein' his duty clear!

Him an' his jokes travelled all through the land

An' his speeches made him friends to beat the band

His politickin' was their favorite brand

An' everyone wanted to shake his hand.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Helpin' his legend grow!

He knew when he spoke he sounded the knell

Of his hopes for White House and fame as well

But he spoke out strong so hist'ry books tell

An' patched up the crack In the liberty Bell.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Seein' his duty clear!

When he come home his politickin' done

The western march had just begun

So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun

An' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun.

Davy, Davy Crockett, Leadin' the pioneer!

He heard of Houston an' Austin an' so

To the Texas plains he jest had to go

Where freedom was fightin' another foe

An' they needed him at the Alamo.

Davy, Davy Crockett, The man who don't know fear!

His land is biggest an' his land is best

From grassy plains to the mountain crest

He's ahead of us all meetin' the test

Followin' his legend into the West.

Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the wild frontier!
