"DANIEL BOONE"

Lyrics by Vera Matson

(Copyright 1964, 1966 Twentieth Century Music Corporation, New York, NY)

Daniel Boone was a man,

Yes, a big man!

With an eye like an eagle

And as tall as a mountain was he!

Daniel Boone was a man,

Yes, a big man!

He was brave, he was fearless

And as tough as a mighty oak tree!

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan

To the heel of his rawhide shoe;

The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man

The frontier ever knew!

Daniel Boone was a man,

Yes, a big man!

And he fought for America

To make all Americans free!

What a Boone! What a doer!

What a dream come-er-true-er was he!

Daniel Boone was a man!

Yes, a big man!

With a whoop and a holler

he c'd mow down a forest of trees!

Daniel Boone was a man!

Yes, a big man!

If he frowned at a river

In July all the water would freeze!

But a peaceable, pioneer fella was Dan

When he smiled all the ice would thaw!

The singin'est, laughin'est, happiest man

The frontier ever saw!

Daniel Boone was a man!

Yes, a big man!

With a dream of a country that'd

Always forever be free!

What a Boone! What a do-er!

What a dream-come-er-true-er was he!
