Here kids hand me that old guitar
I'm gonna tell you the story about a famous man

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
He killed him a bear 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 and peace was in store
And while he was handling this risky chore
He built hisself a legend forever more

Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier

He gave his word and he gave his hand
That his injun friends could keep their land
The rest of his life he took the stand
That justice was due every red skinned band

Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the wild frontier

Now he lost his love and grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose himself in the forst tall
But no he answered instead his countries call

Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the wild frontier

He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the government and laws as well
Took over Washington, so we hear tell
And pitched up the crack in the Liberty Bell

Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the wild frontier

His land is biggest and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all, a'meeting the test
And following his legend right into the west

Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the wild frontier
Davy, Davy Crocket
King of the wild frontier

King of the wild frontier
