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 »

I love the brunets the red heads and blonde haired gals
Yeah I done it since I don't know when
Use to go down the line and love 'em all then I'd start all over again I'd start all over again

I've got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
Yeah I missed a lotta lovin' in my lifetime
But I'm never gonna do it again I'm never gonna do it again

[ guitar ]

As a boy in school I guess I done pretty well
All the girls hung around me then
But I'd get shy and I'd let ‘em get away
But I'm never gonna do it again I'm never gonna do it again

I've got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
Cause I missed a lotta lovin' in my lifetime
But I'm never gonna do it again I'm never gonna do it again

I've been a rompin' and a stompin' all over this town
Tryin' to find the places you've been
Cause I missed your huggin' at last around
So let's go 'round again yeah let's go 'round again

I've got the bull by the horns on a downhill drag
Things are better than they ever have been
Cause I missed a lotta lovin' in my lifetime
But I'm never gonna do it again I'm never gonna do it again
