Greenest state in the Land of the Free

G                         C
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree

Off through the woods he went marching along

                A7              D7
Making up yarns and a singing a song

G                           C
Itching for fighting always righting a wrong

D7                                  G
He was rangy as a bear and twice as strong

Fought single-handed through the Indian War

Till the tribes went west and peace was in store

G                       C
The rest of his life he took the stand

That justice was due the redskin man

He went off to Congress and served a spell

Fixing up the government and laws as well

He heard of Houston and Austin and so

To the Texas plains he just had to go

G                           C
Where the land was free and there was room to grow

And he fought and died at the Alamo

Davy's land is the biggest Davy's land is best

                          A7       D7
From grassy plains to the mountain crest

G                    C
He's ahead of us all meeting the test

D7                            G
Following his legend into the West
