i love songs like this, but most people dont know johnny horton was a HUGE RACIST. he even cut a song in the 60s called "i hate n*ggers".

@headhunter0420

Some racist songs have sometimes been incorrectly associated with Horton. These songs are by a singer calling himself "Johnny Rebel," who did not began recording until years after Horton's death. The mistake is apparently because Horton recorded the historical song "Johnny Reb."

@headhunter0420 the racist was someone else.

@headhunter0420 He died in 1960. would have been hard for him to write that one.

50's rockabilly.

This song, that is, the original is from 1953. It's quiet similar to this version, except for the back up voices.

@markowee Growing up, my Dad listened to this, and we were stuck listening to it as well. At the time we wanted to hear R&B, and rock and roll. I still love my rock, but I love this too. Good memories.
