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 »

The fiddles are squeakin' 
The guitars are speakin' 
The piano plays a jelly-roll
The man on the drum is out from dumb
And the bassman - he plays from his soul
The tables are quakin' 
And your nerves are shakin' 
But you keep on beggin' for more
You keep a havin' your fun 
You lucky son of a gun 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
You keep a havin' your fun 
You lucky son of a gun 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor

There's a waitress handy 
And she don't sell candy 
And she don't sell soda pop
And there's a fat bartender 
Who's there to serve you 
If you really want to blow your top
If you got no money then there's a little honey 
She's a thing that you adore
You keep a havin' your fun 
You lucky son of a gun 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor

Your payday's Saturday 
You're broke on Sunday 
Come Monday, you're feelin' sore
You got big black eyes that you pick up 
From a little guy the night before
So you swear off to drinkin' 
But when you get to thinkin'
'Bout the good times you had, oh Lord
So keep a havin' your fun 
You lucky son of a gun 
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
On a honky tonk hardwood floor
