Oh, Micca's version of the song is based on fact! Why, Lord Franklin wanted his exploits to be remembered, so he stayed in various places long enough to tell his tale to local inhabitants.....thus places like Franklin Indiana, Franklin Tennesee, Franklin Ohio, and Franklin Kentucky were named for him! As a matter of fact, one famous stretch goes from Franklin Kentucky TO Franklin Tennessee...right thru Nashville on what is now I-65! He even made a side trip to Franklin, Alabama before he reached Louisiana. (The song would have been WAY too long & confusing if all those places were added....yessir, it would have!)
