Lyrics:
Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
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 boon, what a do-er,
What a dream come-a true-er was he!

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With a whoop and a holler
He could mow down a forest of trees.

With a knife and a gun he never did fail
There was nothin' he could not tame.
He blazed a big wide liberty trail
Through history's hall of fame.

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With a dream of a country
That would always forever be free.

What a boon, what a do-er,
What a dream come-a true-er was he!

I grew up in Oklahoma & Texas. Just watching Daniel Boone, I always loved/had an interest of the wilderness, esp. b cuz of it!  I've trapped, hunted, fished, cut/chopped my own wood & can build whatever necessary & truly could make it on my own. My first time trapping was the easiest & best skinning job I've done & made myself proud ever since. I am 1/4 Choctaw Indian & I recon its been in my blood!... The simple life, not hard at all just the want, will & love for it-that's all 😌

The writer is credited to Vera Darby, my husband's aunt.  Her husband just had the best time writing music and fun lyrics.  It was such a simple, sweet time in history.  People were motivated to do good for each other, just because they were good.
