Johnny Horton

John Gale "Johnny" Horton (April 30, 1925 – November 5, 1960) was an American country music and rockabilly singer most famous for his semi-folk, so-called "saga songs" which began the "historical ballad" craze of the late 1950s and early 1960s. With them, he had several major successes, most notably during 1959 with the song "The Battle of New Orleans" (written by Jimmy Driftwood), which was awarded the 1960 Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. The song was awarded the Grammy Hall of Fame Award, and during 2001 ranked No. 333 of the Recording Industry Association of America's "Songs of the Century". more »

(I'm done rovin' I'm gonna settle down.)
I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road.
Found my treasure at the end of love's rainbow.
I found a love for which I'm pinin',
Pretty as a ring, her love was shinin'.

I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road.
I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road,
'Cause I've found the key to this lovesick code.
I found a love, an' that's no lyin'
A gal I can trust without denyin'.

I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road.
I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road.
Now I've found the gal to share this heavy load.
I vowed to her that I would take her,
I'd take her to the preacher an' never forsake her.

I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road.
I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road,
For to her apron strings, now I am sewed.
I love that gal an' I want her only:
Gotta have a gal or you'll get lonely.
I'm done rovin' down this lonesome road.
(I'm done rovin' I'm gonna settle down.)
