Thread Name: Lyr Req: Farewell to the Mountains (Davy Crockett)
Subject: Farewell by Davy Crockett
Okay, I've tried "google" and I've tried the digitrad...I once had a recording (78 RPM) of a song called "Farewell" by Tennessee Ernie Ford. This was on the flip side of "16 Tons." Farewell was supposedly written at least in part by Davy Crockett. Anybody got the lyrics? Started out, "Farewell to the mountains and the valleys so wild. Ended, I believe, with, "Wife of my bosom, farewell to y'all; in the land of the strangers, I rise, or I fall." Thanks in advance.
