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
Kil't 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
In 1813 the Creeks uprose
G A D
Adding redskin arrows to the country's woes.
G C Am
Now, Indian fighting is something he knows,
D7 G
so he shoulders his rifle and off he goes.
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, the man who don't know fear.
G C G
Off through the woods he's a marchin' along.
G A D
Making up yarns and singing a song.
G C Am
Itchy for fightin' and rightin' the wrong,
D7 G
he's ringy as a bar and twice as strong!
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer.
G C G
He 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 hi'self a legend forever more.
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, king of the wild frontier.
G C G
He gave his work and he gave his hand,
G A D
that his Indian friends could keep their land.
G C Am
And the rest of his life he took the stand,
D7 G
that justice was due every redskin band.
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, holdin' his promise dear.
G C G
He went off to Congress and served a spell,
G A D
fixin' up the government and laws as well,
G C Am
he took over Washington so I hear tell
D7 G
and patched up the crack in the Liberty bell.
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, seeing his duty clear.
G C G
When he come home, his politickin' done,
G A D
why the westward march had just begun,
G C Am
so he packed his gear and his trusty gun
D7 G
and lit out a grinnin' to follow the sun.
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, a leadin' the pioneer.
G C G
He heard of Houston and Austin and so,
G A D
to the Texas plains he just had to go,
G C Am
their freedom was fightin' another foe
D7 G
and they needed him at the Alamo!
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, the man who don't know fear.
G C G
His land is biggest and his land is best.
G A D
From the grassy plains to the mountain's crest.
G C Am
He's ahead of us all meeting the test,
D7 G
following his legend to the West
G C G D D7 G
Davey, Davey Crockett, king of the wild frontier.
