G                         C     G 
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee

Greenest state in the Land of the Free 

G                         C 
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree 

D7                                        G 
He killed himself a bear when he was only three

King of the wild frontier  


                              C        G 
Off through the woods he went marching along 

                A7              D7 
Making up yarns and a singing a song 

G                           C 
Itching for fighting always righting a wrong 

D7                                  G 
He was rangy as a bear and twice as strong 


     C    G 
Davy Davy Crockett  

D7                   G 
King of the wild frontier  


                             C          G 
Fought single-handed through the Indian War 

                              A7           D7 
Till the tribes went west and peace was in store 

G                       C 
The rest of his life he took the stand 

D7                               G 
That justice was due the redskin man

He went off to Congress and served a spell 

                         A7          D7 
Fixing up the government and laws as well

Took over Washington so we heard tell

He heard of Houston and Austin and so 

                       A7          D7 
To the Texas plains he just had to go 

G                           C 
Where the land was free and there was room to grow 

D7                               G 
And he fought and died at the Alamo

                           C              G 
Davy's land is the biggest Davy's land is best 

                          A7       D7 
From grassy plains to the mountain crest 

G                    C 
He's ahead of us all meeting the test

Following his legend into the West
