The Ballad Of Davy Crocket Lyrics - The Supremes

(Tom Blackburn/George Bruns) 

He was born on a mountain top in Tennessee 

Greenest state in the Land of the Free 

Raised in the woods so he knew every tree 

Killed himself a bear when he was only three 

Davy, Davy Crocket 

King of the wild fronteer 

He was a cardfan man 

His life was worthy 

He had love in his hands 

And his hands were dirty 

And the sky turned to fire 

On the day of his birth

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now he lost his love and his grief was gall 

In his heart he wanted to leave it all 

And lose himself in the forest tall 

But answered instead his country's call 

Davy, Davy Crocket 

King of the Wild Fronteer 

He was a mighty big man 

In a mighty big land 

Had a mighty big heart 

And mighty big hand 

When his country called 

He met the demand 

Fought single-handed through the Injun War 

Till the creeks was swept and peace was in store 

And while he was handlin this risky chore 

Made himself a legend forevermore 

Davy, Davy Crocket 

King of the Wild Fronteer

At night he walked to the woods alone 

Winding his beard 

Way back home 

A hero's curse, a man alone 

Looking for a place where the air smells clean 

Where the tree is tall and the grass is green 

Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream 

And teemin' woods is a hunter's dream 

Hey, Davy, Davy Crocket 

King of the Wild Fronteer 

He was a big, big man 

Davy, Davy Crocket 

King of the Wild Fronteer 

He sure loved those woods 

Davy, Davy Crocket 

King of the Wild Fronteer 

Mmm, Davy!
