Additional quotes by Jimmy Driftwood

Stirrup to stirrup and side by side We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide. We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood On the Tennessee mare and the Tennessee stud.

The Tennessee stud was long and lean The color of the sun and his eyes were green. He had the nerve and he had the blood And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud.

In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon an' we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British at the town of New Orleans. We fired our guns an' the British kept a'comin'. There wasn't nigh as many as there was awhile ago. We fired once more an' they begin to runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
