"The Battle of New Orleans" is the title of a song written by Jimmy Driftwood. The song describes the 1815 Battle of New Orleans from the perspective of an American soldier; the lyrics are evidently intended to be comical. It has been recorded by many artists, but the singer most often associated with this song is Johnny Horton. His version scored number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1959

This is Jimmy Driftwood ! Happen to be a cousin of mine.. He died in 1998 and did shows at the Jimmy Driftwood Barn in Mountain View Arkansas up till the last part of his life. Great Guy and wonderful storyteller with his music.

The song is actually called "Eighth of January"--and it's really fun to play on Guitar! :)

@proverbs2221 Actually, the tune Eighth of January was used FOR this song. It's the same tune, different song. Like the Abc's and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
