Russell Arms tells about a famous American as he introduces a newcomer to the survey, The Ballad of Davy Crockett. Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier. Born on a mountain top Tennessee, greenest state in the land of the free, raised in woods so he knew every tree, killed him a bar when he was only three. Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier. Fought single-handed through the Indian war, till the Creeks was whipped and peace was in store, and while he was handling this risky chore, he made himself a legend forevermore. Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier. Now he lost his love and his grief was gone. In his heart he wanted to leave it all and lose himself in the forest tall. But he answered instead his country's call. Davy, Davy Crockett, the choice of the whole frontier. He went off to Congress to serve a spell, fixing up the government and laws as well, took over Washington so we hear tell, and patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell. Davy, Davy Crockett, served his country well. When he come home, his politicking done, the western march had just begun, so he packed up his gear and his trusty gun and lit out a grinning to follow the sun. Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier. His land is biggest, his land is best. From grassy plain to the mountain crest. He's ahead of us all, a mighty man. Following his legend into the west. Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier. King of the wild frontier. Number six on the survey. Snooky Lanson sings the musical flea that's in the number six spot. That's all I want from you. Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly. A little love that slowly grows and grows. Not one that comes and goes. That's all I want from you. A sunny day with hopes up to the sky. A kiss but no goodbye. That's all I want from you. Don't let me down. Oh, tell me that you care. Remember when you give, you always get your share. Don't let me down. I have no time to waste. Tomorrow might not come when dreamers dream too late. A little love that slowly grows and grows, not one that comes and goes. That's all I want from you. A little love that slowly grows and grows, not one that comes and goes. That's all I want from you. That's all I want from you. Survey song number seven.
