Thread Name: Ballad of Davy Crockett
Subject: RE: BS: Ballad of Davy Crockett
My nephews rewrote The Ballad Of Davey Crockett when they were about 8 and ten:
Borned on a mountain top in Tennesee Tore his pants on a Christmas Tree Patched 'em up with some bubble gum Along come a bear and he asked for some
Davey, Davey Crockett King of the wild frontier
Slept on a table top in Joe's Cafe Greasyest joint in the U.S.A. Ordered a griddly, and that ain't all The next thing I knew I was in City Hall
And I added a verse:
I went to see the Mayor just to set him straight I found him swinging on the Pearly Gate He charged me a dollar and he let me go So I wandered on down to the Alamo
There's probably almost as much truth in that as there is in the Disneyized tv program. ;-)
