History in Country Music Song Lyrics

September 28th, 2008

Okay, okay, I know that this is a little bit of a stretch, but there are a few country songs that actually deal with real, honest to goodness historical events.

The song I was thinking about today deals with the War of 1812. You remember that, don’t you? These country music song lyrics probably are classed with the “topical” songs, which is why this song is not widely heard on the radio anymore.

And of course, one of the important things that the songwriter left out was that Jackson’s heroic effort actually took place after the official end of the War of 1812!
