Letra:
DAVY CROCKETT
I'll tell you of a fight that I had with Davy Crockett,
He was half and half horse and half kill-rocket
I met him a-going out a-cooning
Said I, "Where' s your gun?"
Said he,"I have none"
Just then l sald
"How you going to kill a coon?"
Said he, "Pompey Smash, come and go along with Davy
And l'll show you mighty quick how to grin a coon crazy"
We hadn't went very far until we saw a squirrel
Sitting on a pine log, eating sheep sorrel
He backed both ears and he brayed like a sinner
And Colonel Davy Crockett was a-grinning for his dinner
"Take care of black calf
And don't you laugh,
l'll back both ears
And l'll bite you in half"
I took off my coat and laid down my ammunition
Said I "Davy Crockett, I'll cool your ambition
We fought about a half a day and then agreed to drop it
For I was badly whipped and so was Davy Crockett
