All for the Love of a Girl

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 »

Well today I'm so weary today I'm so blue
Sad and broken hearted and it's all because of you
Life was so sweet dear life was a song
Now you've gone and left me oh where do I belong
And it's all for the love of a dear little girl
All for the love that sets your heart in a whirl
I'm a man who'd give his life and the joys of this world all for the love of a girl

And it's all for the love
