In Seventeen Eighty - Six
In the state of Tennessee
A child born there would be known
	by all
Cause he'd go down in history
Davy Crockett was his name
King of the wild frontier
And these words I write about his life
Are just facts you'll love to hear

Young Davy fought the Indians
In what's known as the "Creek War"
His legend grew and being popular
Made him strive for so much more
In eighteen twenty - one
Off to Washington he would go
And serve two terms as congressman
At least history tells us so

(Musical Turnaround)

In eighteen thirty - five Davy left ole
	Tennessee
To travel down to Texas
And to fight to make it free
With thirty armed men by his side
Not knowing they were meant to die
To San Antone these men would go
To die at Alamo

(Musical Break)

(Chorus)
They called the siege " The Thirteen Days Of Glory "
For on March sixth, eighteen thirty - six
The Alamo would fall
This story is part of history
They were heroes of our land
May the bravery of those men who died
In our memory always stand
