The Ballad of Davy Crockett Tennessee Ernie Ford

[Verse 1]
Born on a mountain in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
He killed him a b'ar when he was only three

[Chorus]
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier

[Verse 2]
Fought single-handed thru the Injun war
'Till the Creeks was whipped and the peace was in store
And while he was a'handlin' this risky chore
Made hisself a legend forever more

[Chorus]
Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear

[Verse 3]
When he lost his love, his grief was gall
In his heart, he wanted to leave it all
And lose hisself in the forest tall
But he answered, instead, his country's call

[Chorus]
Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier
