(Links to information at the bottom of the page below the words of the song)
Born on a mountain top in
Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods, so's he know
ev'ry tree
Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three
Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier,
Fought
single-handed through the Injun war
Till the Creeks was whipped and the peace was in store
While he was handling this risky chore
Made himself a legend forevermore
Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier,
Went off to
Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the government and laws as well
Took over Washington, so I hear tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
He give his
word and he give his hand
His Injun friends could keep their land
The rest of his like he took the stand
That justice was due every redskinned man
Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
When he came
home, his politickin' done
The western march had just begun
So he packed up his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out grinnin' to follow the sun
Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
He heard of
Houston and Austin and so
To the Texas plain he just had to go
There freedom was a fightin' another foe
And they needed him at the Alamo
Davey, Davey Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier.
