“We fired our cannon ‘till the barrel melted down, Than we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.”
Johnny Horton is one of my all time favorite American artists.
That’s right.
Andy’s boys were filling alligators’ heads with cannon balls and powdering their behinds with gunpowder.
It blew their minds, but these were truly patriotic, red-white-and-blue, volunteer reptiles.
“we filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind, and when we lit the powder off we blew the gator’s mind!”
