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
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 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!
