The Davy Crockett Songs

We are now all big fans of the 5 episode Davy Crocketts played by Fess Parker.  The theme song for it "The Ballad Of Davy Crockett" we sing every day! My favourite version of it is when Fess Parker sings it.

There is also a song about his gun that Ben and me love!

I hope you enjoy the songs as much as we do!!!
