0:01Davy Davy Crocket
0:04The king of the wild frontier
0:08Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
0:11The greenest state in the land of the free
0:14Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
0:17And kilt him a bear when he was only three
0:20Davy Davy Crockett
0:22King of the wild frontier
0:27He fought single-handed
0:28Through the Injun War
0:29Till the Creeks was whipped
0:31And peace was in store
0:32And while he was handling
0:34This risky chore
0:35He made hisself a legend forever more
0:38Davy Davy Crockett
0:41King of the wild frontier
0:45Oh when he lost his love
0:47His grief was gall
0:50In his heart he wanted to leave it all
0:55And lose hisself in the forests tall
1:00But he answered instead
1:02His country's call
1:04Davy Davy Crocket
1:06The choice of the whole frontier
1:11He went off to Congress
1:12And served a spell
1:13Fixing up the government
1:14And laws as well
1:16Took over Washington
1:17So we hear tell
1:19And patched up the crack
1:20In the Liberty Bell
1:21Davy Davy Crocket
1:24Serving his country well
1:29When he come home
1:30His politicking done
1:31Why the big western march had just begun
1:34He packed up his gear and his trusty gun
1:37And lit out a grinning to follow the sun
1:40Davy Davy Crocket
1:43Leading a pioneer
1:48His land is biggest and his land is best
1:53From grassy plains to the mountain crests
1:57He's ahead of us all
2:00A meeting the test
2:02And following his legend right
2:05Into the west
2:08Davy Davy Crocket
2:10The king of the wild frontier
2:16King of the wild frontier
