Yes, being a former 5 or 6 year old who wore a cookskin cap, I definitely remember singing "Killed him a BAR when he was only three..." These internet lyric sites mess up lyrics more often than not (I know from personal experience). Rick In a message dated 3/19/2010 6:25:51 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:

Took over Washington, so we hear tell, And patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell. Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear. (Serving his country well) When he come home, his politickin' done, The western march had just begun. So he packed his gear, and his trusty gun And lit out a grinnin' to follow the sun.
