Diana Ross Ballad Of Davy Crockett lyrics

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 frontier

He was a card fan 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

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 frontier

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 frontier

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 teamin' woods is a hunter's dream
Hey, Davy, Davy Crocket, king of the wild frontier

He was a big, big man
Davy, Davy Crocket, king of the wild frontier
He sure loved those woods
Davy, Davy Crocket, king of the wild frontier
Mmm, Davy
