My mom sang this when I was a kid - this site had the only near match: "...Shot his sister?, when he was only three Drownded his brother in a cup of tea Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier..." I think she said the original was "shot a b'ar" which was supposed to mean bear. While I'm at it, this one she sang recalls a better-managed time... "Beer, beer for old Stroudsburg High You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye Send somebody out for gin Don't let a sober senior in! We never stagger, we never fall We sober up on wood alcohol ? ? ? ? ? ? ? and open the guldarn bar!"
