Ballad Of Davy Crockett

[Music by George Bruns and Words by Tom Blackburn]

Davy, Davy Crocket
The King of the wild frontier

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The 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, the king of the wild frontier

He 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
He made hisself a legend for evermore
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier

Oh when he lost his love his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose hisself in the forests tall
But he answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crockett
The choice of the whole frontier

He went off to Congress and served a spell
Fixin' up the Govern'ments and laws as well
Took over Washington so we heered tell
And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell
Davy, Davy Crockett, serving his country well

When he come home his politickin' done
Why the big western march had just begun
He packed up his gear and his trusty gun
And lit out grinnin' to follow the sun
Davy, Davy Crockett, a leadin' the pioneer

His land is biggest and his land is best
From grassy plains to the mountain crest
He's ahead of us all, a meetin' the test
And follerin' his legend right into the West
Davy, Davy Crockett
The king of the wild frontier

King of the wild frontier

Title:Cindy, Oh Cindy
Artist: Vince Martin and The Tarriers - Contributor:Webmaster

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I joined the Navy to see the world
But nowhere could I find
A girl as sweet as Cindy
The girl I left behind
I've sailed the wide world over
Can't get her out of my mind

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I see her face in every wave
Her lips kiss every breeze
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Through calm and stormy sea
At night I face the lonely deck
Caressed by memories

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound

I know my Cindy's waiting
As I walk the deck alone
Her lovin' arms reach out to me
Soon I'll be heading home
Then my sailin' days will be over
And no more will I roam

Cindy, oh Cindy
Cindy don't let me down
Write me a letter soon
And I'll be homeward bound
