Biography:
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 in 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.

Well my daddy was a drunkard
Momma taught for the Lord
Granny took me to Sunday School
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
This church it wasn’t modern
It was built of log and clay
But you could see my Jesus there
G7 C
As we knelt down to pray
And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
Well time has came between us
And the years have come and gone
I’m a-leaving here tomorrow
G7 C
I’ve been away too long
And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
Well my daddy was a drunkard
Momma taught for the Lord
Granny took me to Sunday School
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
This church it wasn’t modern
It was built of log and clay
But you could see my Jesus there
G7 C
As we knelt down to pray
And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
Well time has came between us
And the years have come and gone
I’m a-leaving here tomorrow
G7 C
I’ve been away too long
And I’m telling you my Jesus came from the golden city
G7 C
To the church by the side of the road
