The Ballad of Davey Crockett

G C G
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee,
G A D
Greenest state in the land of the free.
G C Am
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
D7 G
Killed him a bar when he was only three.
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, king of the wild frontier.
G C G
Fought single handed through the Indian war,
G A D
Till` the Creeks were whipped and peace was in store,
G C Am
While he was handling this risky chore,
D7 G
made himself a legend forever more.
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, the man who don`t know fear.

(rest of lyrics, same chord pattern)
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` a 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, king of the wild frontier...


A nice song popular to everyone (1955) sang by Fess Parker.
