The country was big
When it was new
The best men was big
Folks believed was true
So the more they were told
The more they grew
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
History remembers the name of his gun
And some of the deeds he really done
But most of his chores
For freedom and fun
Got turned into legends
And this here is one
Davy, Davy Crockett
Helping his fame spread wide
Had a lot of furs that he aimed to ship
And he set his mind on a river trip
When a braggin' boatman
Give him some lip
A'claimin' there was no man
He couldn't whip
Davy, Davy Crockett
Tanglin' with Big Mike Fink
Them Kentucky ants got
a bite like an alligator.
Sure ain't particular
what they chaw on.
Look at that, would you?
This is the longest hunt we ever been on.
- Biggest bunch of pelts we ever got, too.
- Leastwise, the heaviest.
Them packhorses is plum wore out
and so am I.
How much longer you figure
we got to walk, anyhow?
I figure we'll reach
the old Ohio pretty soon.
Yeah, sure am looking forward
to that boat ride.
Nothin' to do all day but sit in the sun
and fish all the way down the Natchez.
That's a mighty good idea
of yourn, Davy.
At least we'll get a better price
for our furs there.
You ain't foolin' me none.
You ain't thinking about the price of furs.
You're thinkin' about all that
new country we'll be lookin' at.
- Ow!
- [Squeaking]
[Rattles]
Get away from here.
This ain't your night, is it?
I'm gonna turn in
before something else happens.
That fellow sang worse than you.
keep me awake tonight.
Hey, Davy?
- Hey, Davy?
- Now what?
There's something in bed with me.
Kiss it good night and go to sleep.
[Sniffs]
[Whistle blows]
- There's our boat ride.
- Get a move on, Mahalia.
[Whistle blows]
Listen to the thunder
- Hear the winds roar
- [horse neighs]
Hurricane's a'comin'
Board up the door
Load up the cannon
Call out the law
Worstest calamity that folks ever saw
Girls run and hide
Brave men shiver
He's Mike Fink
King of the River
What's going on here, anyway?
Something's got their fur riled up.
The landing's over there.
Well, boys, hope they don't run out of
Monongahela Red Eye this time!
[Men laugh]
That ought to keep her from drifting.
Say, mister, which one of them fellas
is captain of this boat?
What did you say?
- He wants to know who the captain is.
- [Men laugh]
How long you bushwhackers
been holed up in the backwoods?
Everybody knows who the captain
of the Gullywhumper is.
It's me. Mike Fink.
King of the River.
Well, Captain, meet up with Davy Crockett.
King of the Wild Frontier.
Davy Crockett, huh?
It sure is a small world.
You're a foot shorter than you ought to be.
Don't worry, he's still a'growin'.
Like them yarns
Mighty hard to live up to sometime.
Well, I don't have no trouble
livin' up to mine.
I am the original ring-tail roarer
from the Thunder Lightning country.
I'm a real snorter and a head-buster.
I can out-run, out-jump,
out-sing, out-swim,
out-dance, out-shoot,
out-eat, outright...
Out-talk?
Yeah, out-talk, out-cuss and out-fight
anybody in the whole Mississippi
and Ohio Rivers put together.
Interesting, but all we wanna know
is how far down you're going?
All the way to New Orleans, of course.
Told you I'm Mike Fink.
King of the River.
This is my private river.
Have you got room for
a couple of private passengers?
- Where you bound?
- Natchez.
We got furs we aim to sell down there.
You get a better price
