Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier
Oh, it's funky
But it has a country feel
Is that Tower of Power?
Born on a mountaintop, in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
Killed him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier
Well, somebody had to map it
Fought single-handed through many a war
'Til the enemy was whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handling this risky chore,
He made himself a legend forevermore
Davy, David Crockett
The man who no fear
So romantic
Now he gets responsible
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the government and the laws as well
Took over Washington
And he patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett
Seeing his duty clear
When he came home, his politicking was done
And the Western march had just begun
So he packed his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out, grinning, to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett
Leading the pioneers
Just think about all that wilderness and nobody had really been there before
Just him and his gun
I should think the old burro or something
Somebody to carry a few things
And probably somebody to take down the tent
I don't - did they have Zippos then?
Lighting the campfire... quite hard to find sausages... or a frying pan
He also had that extraordinary hat
Remember that hat?
Made out of some sort of animal
Raccoon, I think
Stripey––sort of stripey
I remember singing this song when I was very little
Sort of stripey tail on his hat
Very, very strange look
