Tim Curry – The Ballad of Davy Crockett Lyrics

Artist: Tim Curry
Song: The Ballad of Davy Crockett

Davy
Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
Oh, it’s funky

But it has a country feel
Is that Tower of Power?
Born on a mountaintop
In Tennessee

The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods, so’s he knew every tree
Killed him a bear when he was only three
Davy

Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
Well somebody had to map it
Fought single-handed through many a war

Til the enemy was whipped and peace was in store
And while he was handling this risky chore
He made himself a legend forevermore
Davy

David Crockett
The man who no fear
So romantic
Now he gets responsible

He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixing up the government and the laws as well
Took over Washington
So I’ve heard tell

And he patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
David!
Davy Crockett
Seeing his duty clear

When he came home, his politicking was done
And the Western march had just begun
So he packed his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out grinning to follow the sun

Davy
Davy Crockett
Leading the pioneers
Just think about all that wilderness

And nobody had really been there before
Just him and his gun
I should think the old burro or something
Somebody to carry a few things

Probably somebody to take down the tent
Um, I don’t – did they have Zippos then?
Lighting the campfire?
Quite hard to find sausages…

Or a frying pan…
He also had that extraordinary hat, remember that hat?
Made of some sort of animal – a raccoon, I think
Stripey, sort of stripey…

I remember singing this song when I was very little
Sort of stripey…tail on his hat
Very, very strange look
