FBorn on a mountain top in FTennessFee, FGreenest state in the laGnd of the fGree. FRaised in the woods so he Fknew every Dmtree G7Killed him a "bar" when heF was only three. FDavey, FDavey CFrockett, Gking of the G7wild fFrontier. FFought single handed through the FIndian Fwar, FTill' the Creeks were whipped and Gpeace was in Gstore, WhFile he was handling this Frisky Dmchore, G7made himself a legend forever Fmore. FDavey, FDavey CFrockett, Gthe man who G7don't know Ffear.
(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. T. Armstrong April 1997
