The Battle of New Orleans (skiffle take #4)
I was only planning on doing five of these at first, but now it #39;s looking like it #39;s going to be closer to ten. A tune I first heard from Johnny Horton, this is probably Jimmie Driftwood #39;s best known song. Surprisingly historically accurate, except for maybe the bit about the alligator... Lonnie Donegan, who thanks to Diggin #39; My Potatoes was no stranger to censorship, ran into trouble again with this one. First it was just changing "bloody British" to "ruddy British," but eventually the British became "rebels" which renders the song almost meaningless. Things turned out alright in the end, though.From:SirCoughsalotViews:1 0ratingsTime:02:58More inMusic
