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!
