Mine was The Battle of New Orleans by Johnny Horton:
In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
[Chorus:] We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin. There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. We fired once more and they began to runnin' on Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
How is it that I know this song if it was popular on the day I was born? I remember singing it in HS, for goodness sake!

"Sheila" by Tommy Rowe. I don't think I've ever heard of it!
Oh, I know CJ's song. I love that one.
I LOVE that song! But I'm here to tell you that you may POSSIBLY have won the Hachette box of books at my blog. Come see what the confusion is! :)
And mine is House of the Rising Sun!
