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 »

Give me my cycle with star-filled sky above
And a good lookin' woman with a heart full of love
I'll go to any honky in any old town cause I am the wild one and I'll never settle down
I am the wild one I am the wild one I am the wild one I'll never settle down

I got a gal in every town who claims she loves me so
I love 'em and leave 'em I want 'em all to know
That when I hear that wild wind a blowin' down the road
I know I'll have to travel fast and leave without a load

I am the wild one I am the wild one I am the wild one I'll never settle down
I am the wild I believe in travelin' light
Just me and my cycle speedin' through the night
I love a lotta women I take 'em all around I am the wild one I'll never settle down
I am the wild one I am the wild one I am the wild one I'll never settle down
