I used to know every verse of the Ballad of Davy Crockett, something 
like 23 verses.  I hope I don't have my mind still cluttered with them.  
I have the Bill Hayes version with picture sleeve on 78, but my favorite 
version (besides Mickey Katz) was Tennessee Ernie Ford's version where 
he goes down to a real low note at the end.
