The Ballad of Davey Crockett
Disney's Greatest Vol. 2

(Played in album 5 steps up)

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
Greenest state in the land of the free.
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
Kil't him a "bar" when he was only three.
Davey, Davey Crockett, king of the wild frontier.

In 1813 the Creeks uprose
Adding redskin arrows to the country's woes.
Now, Indian fighting is something he knows,
so he shoulders his rifle and off he goes.
Davey, Davey Crockett, the man who don't know fear.
Off through the woods he's a marchin' along.
Making up yarns and singing a song.
Itchy for fightin' and rightin' the wrong,
he's ringy as a bar and twice as strong!
Davey, Davey Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer.

He fought single handed through the Indian war,
Till' the Creeks were whipped and peace was in store,
While he was handling this risky chore,
made hi'self a legend forever more.
Davey, Davey Crockett, king of the wild frontier.

He gave his work and he gave his hand,
that his Indian friends could keep their land.
And the rest of his life he took the stand,
that justice was due every redskin band.
Davey, Davey Crockett, holdin' his promise dear.
He went off to Congress and served a spell,
fixin' up the government and laws as well,
he took over Washington so I hear tell
and patched up the crack in the Liberty bell.
Davey, Davey Crockett, seeing his duty clear.

When he come home, his politickin' done, 
why the westward march had just begun,
so he packed his gear and his trusty gun 
and lit out a grinnin' to follow the sun.
Davey, Davey Crockett, a leadin' the pioneer.

He heard of Houston and Austin and so,
to the Texas plains he just had to go, 
their freedom was fightin' another foe
and they needed him at the Alamo!
Davey, Davey Crockett, the man who don't know fear.

His land is biggest and his land is best.
From the grassy plains to the mountain's crest.
He's ahead of us all meeting the test,
following his legend to the West
Davey, Davey Crockett, king of the wild frontier.
