The Slightly More Accurate Ballad of Davy Crockett
FM:
Borned in Franklin, which is now history
An unsanctioned state in the land of the free.
Which rejoined North Carolina territory
Before assimilating to the state of Tennessee
ALL:
Davy, Davy Crockett, His home-state ain’t so clear
CH:
He served as a scout the “Injun War”
A name is so racist that it’s hard to ignore
The Creeks were wrongfully shown the door
As the whiteman stole all their land and more - (Ah geez)
ALL:
Davy, Davy Crockett, enlisted by profiteers
DAVY:
I gave my word and I gave my hand
That the Native Americans could keep their land
But Andrew Jackson had other plans
So ol’ Davy drew his line in the sand
ALL:
Davy, Davy Crockett, ready to campaign-smear
CH:
Fightin’ to keep his promise intact,
He opposed the Indian Removal Act
But support from his delegates, he would lack
Then they voted out Davy, like a kick in the sack
ALL:
Davy, Davy Crockett, fightin’ the Trail of Tears
FM:
As Jackson stepped down, he endorsed a friend,
Martin “the mutton-chopped” Van Buren
Davy had enough and joined the Texans
To try to steal land from the Mexicans? (Oh, c'mon!)
ALL:
Davy, Davy Crockett, the Texan Musketeer
DAVY:
I traveled south, as south could go
Enlisting with Defenders at the Alamo
Our troops were overwhelmed and, whatddyaknow,
We crumbled like the old walls of Jericho
ALL:
Davy, Davy Crockett, the legend died right here.
Davy, Davy Crockett, the legend died right here.
The Legend
Died Right
Heeere.
Remember the Alamo!
