This site has, among other stuff, has a discography of Johnny Horton, and there don't seem to be any song titles matching what belfast reported, and therte's a lot of songs there as recorded one way and another.

Not that that means too much, since songs can have different titles. But I'm always cautious about making judgements about people who've been dead a long time (1960 in this case), and who lived in very different times.
