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 »

(Mr Moonlight)
[ guitar ]
Nobody really cares where the moon goes to dawn
Just as long as it's around when the sun goes down then it's nothing wrong
Mr Moon and me and baby makes three we're just like one big family
Everything is right when you're shining bright Mr Moonlight
When the storm clouds gather and you don't know what to do
Pack up your troubles and take a walk underneath the moon
Tell him what's wrong and before too long you'll be hummin' a happy song
Everything is right when you're shining bright Mr Moonlight
 
[ guitar ]
Well I've been gone for a long long time from home
You can bet your money honey when I walk I walk alone
I'm not mixed up with Mr Moon around it's the word that sounds upside down
Everything is right when you're shining bright Mr Moonlight
If you and I Mr Moonlight we make three
And don't forget baby will have all night you him and me
He'll put their moonbeams in your hair I bet John Lovin' he'll take it from there
Everything is right when you're shining bright Mr Moonlight Mr Moonlight
