Come listen to a story 'bout a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed
And then one day he was shootin' at some food
And up through the ground came-a bubblin' crude.
Oil, that is. Black gold. Texas tea...
Well the first thing you know, 'ol Jed's a millionaire
the kin-folk said "Jed, move away from there!"
They said "Californy is the place you ought to be!"
So they loaded up the trunk, and they moved to Beverly
Hills, that is. Swimmin' pools; movie stars..
Well now its time to say good-bye to Jed and all his kin.
And they would like to thank you folks fer kindly droppin' in.
You’re all invited back next week to this locality
To have a heapin' helpin' of their hospitality
Hillbilly that is. Set a spell. Take your shoes off. Y'all come back
now, hear?
The best series ever...
Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods sos 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 Government 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
