THE BALLAD OF DAVY CROCKETT - DIANA ROSS and THE SUPREMES - 1987
He was born on a mountain top in Tennessee
Greenest state in the Land of the Free
Raised in the woods so he knew every tree
Killed himself a bear when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the wild frontier
He was a cardfan man
His life was worthy
He had love in his hands
And his hands were dirty
And the sky turned to fire
On the day of his birth
Now he lost his love and his grief was gall
In his heart he wanted to leave it all
And lose himself in the forest tall
But answered instead his country's call
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
He was a mighty big man
In a mighty big land
Had a mighty big heart
And mighty big hand
When his country called
He met the demand
Fought single-handed through the Injun War
Till the creeks was swept and peace was in store
And while he was handlin' this risky chore
Made himself a legend forevermore
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
At night he walked to the woods alone
Winding his beard
Way back home
A hero's curse, a man alone
Looking for a place where the air smells clean
Where the tree is tall and the grass is green
Where the fish is fat in an untouched stream
And teemin' woods is a hunter's dream
Hey, Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
He was a big, big man
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
He sure loved those woods
Davy, Davy Crockett
King of the Wild Frontier
Mmm, Davy!

歌詞 : 司徒明 (馮鳳三)
這一片原野風光太旖旎
遠山高高的接天際
瞧白雲飄 白雲飄 群雁飛
高峰有積雪 相映更美麗
對你對你告別 再會吧要分離
這一片原野風光多奇異
青草長長有千百里
瞧牛羊肥 牛羊肥 排成隊
風吹過牧場 塵沙全飛起
對你對你告別 再會吧要分離
這一片原野風光難忘記
最可愛在那黃昏裡
瞧夕陽下 夕陽下 暮煙升
趕回那牛羊 牧童心頭喜
對你對你告別 再會吧要分離

員林姑娘 : 三元教室合唱團唱 1995
作詞：詹本原
男唱：美麗寶島呀好春天, 員林的景致嘛真優美
彭柑果子呀滿滿是, 小姑娘呀阿若仙女
啊.....迷戀的暗暝啦, 懷念的街市
男唱：水源地百果山景致好, 滿山的春花呀清香味
青年男女啦滿滿是, 講著情話糖蜜甜
啊....純情的男兒啦, 阮永遠等您
獨唱: 員林的姑娘呀真正水, 對人來講話呀笑咪咪
迷人的黑眼睛嬌滴滴, 人人看著都愛伊
啊員林的姑娘啦純情的姑娘
女唱: 阮就是員林的小姑娘, 青春的年紀呀正當時
每日來打拼來過日子, 對阮媽媽來做生意
啊.....純情的男兒咱永遠來等你
女唱：春天風吹來心糟糟, 好哥哥娶阮來去七桃
做陣講話情綿綿, 月娘看著笑咪咪
啊.....快樂的暗瞑, 難忘的暗瞑...
