Thread Name: Lyr Req: Farewell to the Mountains (Davy Crockett)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Farewell by Davy Crockett
"Farewell" was on the flip side of Ernie Ford's "Ballad of Davy Crockett" but was not sung by Ford -- it was sung by a choir or group but 'I wish I may be shot' if I remember who it was. Fess Parker sang it in the movie, to the accompniment of an autoharp. Parker also recorded "Ballad of Davy Crockett" -- I have it on a CD called 'Best of the Golden West'.
