paroles de chanson Ballad of Davy Crockett - Tennessee Ernie Ford
Born
on
a
mountain
top
in
tennessee
Greenest
state
in
the
land
of
the
free
Raised
in
the
woods
so
he
knew
ev'ry
tree
Kilt
him
a
b'ar
when
he
was
only
three
Davy,
davy
crockett,
king
of
the
wild
frontier!
In
eighteen
thirteen
the
creeks
uprose
Addin'
redskin
arrows
to
the
country's
woes
Now,
injun
fightin'
is
somethin'
he
knows,
So
he
shoulders
his
rifle
an'
off
he
goes
Davy,
davy
crockett,
the
man
who
don't
know
fear!
Off
through
the
woods
he's
a
marchin'
along
Makin'
up
yarns
an'
a
singin'
a
song
Itchin'
fer
fightin'
an'
rightin'
a
wrong
He's
ringy
as
a
b'ar
an'
twict
as
strong
Davy,
davy
crockett,
the
buckskin
buccaneer!
Andy
jackson
is
our
gen'ral's
name
His
reg'lar
soldiers
we'll
put
to
shame
Them
redskin
varmints
us
volunteers'll
tame
'Cause
we
got
the
guns
with
the
sure-fire
aim
Davy,
davy
crockett,
the
champion
of
us
all!~
Headed
back
to
war
from
the
ol'
home
place
But
red
stick
was
leadin'
a
merry
chase
Fightin'
an'
burnin'
at
a
devil's
pace
South
to
the
swamps
on
the
florida
trace
Davy,
davy
crockett,
trackin'
the
redskins
down!
Fought
single-handed
through
the
injun
war
Till
the
creeks
was
whipped
an'
peace
was
in
store
An'
while
he
was
handlin'
this
risky
chore
Made
hisself
a
legend
for
evermore
Davy,
davy
crockett,
king
of
the
wild
frontier!
He
give
his
word
an'
he
give
his
hand
That
his
injun
friends
could
keep
their
land
An'
the
rest
of
his
life
he
took
the
stand
That
justice
was
due
every
redskin
band
Davy,
davy
crockett,
holdin'
his
promise
dear!
Home
fer
the
winter
with
his
family
Happy
as
squirrels
in
the
ol'
gum
tree
Bein'
the
father
he
wanted
to
be
Close
to
his
boys
as
the
pod
an'
the
pea
Davy,
davy
crockett,
holdin'
his
young'uns
dear!
But
the
ice
went
out
an'
the
warm
winds
came
An'
the
meltin'
snow
showed
tracks
of
game
An'
the
flowers
of
spring
filled
the
woods
with
flame
An'
all
of
a
sudden
life
got
too
tame
Davy,
davy
crockett,
headin'
on
west
again!
Off
through
the
woods
we're
ridin'
along
Makin'
up
yarns
an'
singin'
a
song
He's
ringy
as
a
b'ar
an'
twict
as
strong
An'
knows
he's
right
'cause
he
ain'
often
wrong
Davy,
davy
crockett,
the
man
who
don't
know
fear!
Lookin'
fer
a
place
where
the
air
smells
clean
Where
the
trees
is
tall
an'
the
grass
is
green
Where
the
fish
is
fat
in
an
untouched
stream
An'
the
teemin'
woods
is
a
hunter's
dream
Davy,
davy
crockett,
lookin'
fer
paradise!
Now
he's
lost
his
love
an'
his
grief
was
gall
In
his
heart
he
wanted
to
leave
it
all
An'
lose
himself
in
the
forests
tall
But
he
answered
instead
his
country's
call
Davy,
davy
crockett,
beginnin'
his
campaign!
Needin'
his
help
they
didn't
vote
blind
They
put
in
davy
'cause
he
was
their
kind
Sent
up
to
nashville
the
best
they
could
find
A
fightin'
spirit
an'
a
thinkin'
mind
Davy,
davy
crockett,
choice
of
the
whole
frontier!
The
votes
were
counted
an'
he
won
hands
down
So
they
sent
him
off
to
washin'ton
town
With
his
best
dress
suit
still
his
buckskins
brown
A
livin'
legend
of
growin'
renown
Davy,
davy
crockett,
the
canebrake
congressman!
He
went
off
to
congress
an'
served
a
spell
Fixin'
up
the
govern'ments
an'
laws
as
well
Took
over
washin'ton
so
we
heered
tell
An'
patched
up
the
crack
in
the
liberty
bell
Davy,
davy
crockett,
seein'
his
duty
clear!
Him
an'
his
jokes
travelled
all
through
the
land
An'
his
speeches
made
him
friends
to
beat
the
band
His
politickin'
was
their
favorite
brand
An'
everyone
wanted
to
shake
his
hand
Davy,
davy
crockett,
helpin'
his
legend
grow!
He
knew
when
he
spoke
he
sounded
the
knell
Of
his
hopes
for
white
house
an'
fame
as
well
But
he
spoke
out
strong
so
hist'ry
books
tell
An'
patched
up
the
crack
in
the
liberty
bell
Davy,
davy
crockett,
seein'
his
duty
clear!
When
he
come
home
his
politickin'
done
The
western
march
had
just
begun
So
he
packed
his
gear
an'
his
trusty
gun
An'
lit
out
grinnin'
to
follow
the
sun
Davy,
davy
crockett,
leadin'
the
pioneer!
He
heard
of
houston
an'
austin
so
To
the
texas
plains
he
jest
had
to
go
Where
freedom
was
fightin'
another
foe
An'
they
needed
him
at
the
alamo
Davy,
davy
crockett,
the
man
who
don't
know
fear!
His
land
is
biggest
an'
his
land
is
best
From
grassy
plains
to
the
mountain
crest
He's
ahead
of
us
all
meetin'
the
test
Followin'
his
legend
into
the
west
Davy,
davy
crockett,
king
of
the
wild
frontier!
