Coonskin Cap ft. Shelby Lee Lowe Lyrics

Born on the banks of the Nolichucky

In a state called Franklin now East Tennessee

A man of conviction who never backed down

Whether back in the woods or that Washington town

He was a crack shot wonder

A buckskin bear hunter

A gentleman who hailed from the cane

Had freedom on his mind

And a heavy ax to grind

Against Old Hickory

He put the Alamo on the map

He was a legend in a coonskin cap

They called for a vote and he took a stand

To let the red man stay on his sacred land

His hometown objected couldn't get reelected

So he picked up Ol Betsy and headed to Texas

He was a crack shot wonder

A buckskin bear hunter

A gentleman who hailed from the cane

Had freedom on his mind

And a heavy ax to grind

Against Old Hickory

He put the Alamo on the map

He was a legend in a coonskin cap

He was a crack shot wonder

A buckskin bear hunter

A gentleman who hailed from the cane

Had freedom on his mind

And a heavy ax to grind

Against Old Hickory

He put the Alamo on the map

He was a legend in a coonskin cap
