Davy, Davy Crockett
The king of the wild frontier
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
And kilt him a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier
He fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handling this risky chore
He made hisself a legend forever more
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier
Oh, when he lost his love, his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose hisself in the forests tall
But he answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crockett
The choice of the whole frontier
He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the government and laws as well
Took over Washington, so we hear tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett
Serving his country well
When he come home, his politicking done
Why the big western march had just begun
He packed up his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out a grinning to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett
Leading a pioneer
His land is biggest and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crests
He's ahead of us all, a meeting the test
And following his legend right into the west
Davy, Davy Crockett
The king of the wild frontier
King of the wild frontier
So did Daniel Boone.
Daniel Boone, Daniel Boone
What a doer! What a dream come-er-true-er was he!
From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan
To the heel of his rawhide shoe;
The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man
The frontier ever knew!
Oh, Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With an eye like an eagle
And as tall as a mountain was he!
Oh, Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
And he fought for America
To make all Americans free!
Daniel Boone was a doer!
What a dream come-ah-true-er was he!
Daniel Boone!
Daniel Boone!
Daniel Boone!
Fess Parker, what a doer, what a dream come-ah-true-er was he. Read his CNN obituary here.
