Fess Parker King of the River Thurl Ravenscroft Davy Crockett

somebody transcribed the Rider in the Sky version and got this:
I'm Mike Fink
King of the river
Listen to the thunder
Hear the winds roar
Hurricane's a-coming
Board up the door
Load up the cannon
Call up the law
Worstest calamity
That folks never saw
Girls run and hide
Brave men shiver
I'm Mike Fink
King of the river
Oh he's a ring-tail roarer
And a tough old alligator
Oh he's a bull-nosed bully
And a real depopulator
Oh what a deep divin catfish
That always come up dry
He's gonna live forever
Born too mean to die
Dug the whole Ohio
With my big toe
Filled her up with water
Made the critter flow
Stomped out the valley
Scraped up the ridge
Wade across the river
'Cause I don't trust no bridge
And then an earthquake
Make mountains quiver
I'm Mike Fink
King of the river
Oh he can uptalk a lawyer
[Incomprehensible]
Oh he can upchop thunder
And her son say that he can
Oh what a fightin' devil
He'll spit right in your eye
He's gonna live forever
Born too mean to die
Born too mean to die

You wouldn't happen to have lyrics for this would you? I know all of Mike Fink's section, but the Davy Crockett chorus is a little hard to make out.

It's on the wrong speed! It's a 45 rpm, and this is playing at 33.

Check out the label and lead out grooves. This is a 33 1/3 LP. Sounds plenty worn though.
