and I'm just sayin' that the song is just as inaccurate (if not moreso) than all get out - never having claimed anything about the song v. Dan'l.

D. Boone was born in 1734 so he couldn't have been the one who "[k]illed him a bar when he was only three" in 1760. Coulda been he kilt more'n one bar...either him OR Davy Crockett.

Edit: Quiet, this is all your fault!

okay, now I'm going to obviousize this: Davy Crockett absolutely couldn't have killed *anything in 1760! He wasn't even 50 years old when he died at the Alamo in 1836.

I din't never say nothin bout whether D. K. Crockett cilled him no bar nowheres neither. Alls I was doin was say that Ma got the song about somebody 'killed[sic] him a bar when he was only three' ascribed to the wrong Fess Parker.

smile I wish I could say I've actually heard the song with that "let the bar beware" line ("You Can't Teach a Woman How To Drink" - from the Happy Schnapps Combo "Behind Bars" CD). But I can at least offer the complete lyrics: http://my.execpc.com/~sjkrautk/album3lyrics.html

If you've ever heard the Dr. Demento show, you may remember the Schnapps for their song "No,I Don't Wanna Do Dat" - http://my.execpc.com/~sjkrautk/nowanna.wav - I must confess it's the only one of theirs I've ever heard, but it left me with the deep impression of genius under all the slosh.
