Tennessee Ernie Ford Greatest Hits lyrics

In the middle of an island
In the middle of an ocean
You and I beneath the moonlight
Just the monkeys and the palm trees

In the middle of an island
Plenty time to do some kissin'
Plenty time for lots o' lovin'
And walkin' barefoot in the sand

Though there's no island at all
Just a picture on my wall
My darling how I wish we could be

In the middle of an island

Born on a mountain in Tennessee
Greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so's he knew every tree
He killed him a b'ar when he was only three

Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier

Fought single-handed thru the Injun war
'Till the Creeks was whipped and the peace was in store
And while he was a'handlin' this risky chore
Made hisself a legend forever more
