GBorn on a mountain top in CTennessGee, GGreenest state in the laAnd of the fDree. GRaised in the woods so he Cknew every Amtree D7Killed him a "bar" when heG was only three. GDavey, CDavey CGrockett, Dking of the D7wild fGrontier. GFought single handed through the CIndian Gwar, GTill' the Creeks were whipped and Apeace was in Dstore, WhGile he was handling this Crisky Amchore, D7made himself a legend forever Gmore. GDavey, CDavey CGrockett, Dthe man who D7don't know Gfear.
(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
