"Ballad of Larry Joyner."

Larry, Larry Joyner, King of the wild frontier Born
on a table top in Baldwyn, Mississippi, Wildest state in the land of the free Raised in the woods so he knew ev'ry tree Kilt
him a b'ar when he was only three
Early one morn' the creeks rose up Addin' to the fever he had to go a huntin', Now
this was somethin' that he knows, So he shoulders his rifle an' off he goes
Larry, Larry Joyner, The man who don't
know fear!
Off through the woods he's a marchin' along, Makin' up yarns an' a singin' a song, Itchin' fer fight
with whatever come along, Just to show mmm' that he is strong,
Larry, Larry Joyner, The buckskin buccaneer!
Heading
on back to the ol' home place, A trackin' that b'ar right throught the trace, Fought that ol' b'ar in a all out war Made
hiself a legend for evermore,
Larry, Larry Joyner, King of the wild frontier!
When he came home his b'ar huntin'
done, The western march had just begun So he packed ol' Besty his trusty gun, an' lit out a grinnin' to follow the
sun
Larry, Larry Joyner, Leadin' the pioneer Larry, Larry Joyner, King of the wild frontier!
