The Ballad of Davy Crockett
Bill Hayes
From _Davy Crockett_
Music: George Bruns
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!
Traduction des paroles
Les fleurs du printemps remplirent les bois de flammes
Tout d'un coup, la vie est devenue trop apprivoisée
Davy, Davy Crockett, encore à L'Ouest!
À travers les bois, nous sommes ridin' le long de
Makin' vers le fils d'un "singin' une chanson
Il est ringy comme un b'AR Un ' deux fois plus fort
Il sait qu'il a raison parce qu'il a souvent tort
Davy, Davy Crockett, l'homme qui ne connaît pas la peur!
Lookin' fer un endroit où l'air sent le propre
Là où les arbres sont grands, l'herbe est verte
Où le poisson est gras dans un ruisseau intact
Un' the teemin ' woods est le rêve d'un chasseur
Davy, Davy Crockett, lookin' fer Paradis!
Maintenant, il a perdu son amour et son chagrin était fiel
Dans son cœur il voulait tout laisser
Un ' se perdre dans les forêts grand
Mais il répondit à la place de son pays d'appel
Davy, Davy Crockett, commence sa campagne!
Besoin de son aide ils n'ont pas voté aveugle
Ils ont mis Davy parce qu'il était leur genre
Envoyé à Nashville le meilleur qu'ils ont pu trouver
Un esprit de combat un esprit de réflexion
Davy, Davy Crockett, choix de toute la frontière!
Les votes ont été comptés et il a gagné haut la main
Alors ils l'ont envoyé à Washin'on town
Avec son plus beau costume de robe encore son buckskins marron
Une légende vivante de la renommée croissante
Davy, Davy Crockett, Le député de Canebrake!
Il est parti au Congrès et a servi un sort
Fixin' jusqu'à la Régissent'ments un " lois
Il a pris le contrôle de Washin'ton alors on a entendu dire
Un " rafistolé la fissure dans la Cloche De La Liberté
Davy, Davy Crockett, dégage son devoir!
Lui et ' ses blagues ont voyagé à travers le pays
Et ' ses discours lui ont fait des amis pour battre le groupe
Sa politique était leur marque préférée
Tout le monde voulait lui serrer la main
Davy, Davy Crockett, aide sa légende à grandir!
Il savait quand il parlait il sonnait le glas
De ses espoirs pour la Maison Blanche une " renommée aussi bien
Mais il a parlé fort si hist'ry livres disent
Un " rafistolé la fissure dans la Cloche De La Liberté
Davy, Davy Crockett, dégage son devoir!
