Jimmy Driftwood wrote it and it's available on his "Americana" boxed set recordings at Camsco Music - www.camsco.com

Roberta-- There are many recordings available that include Johnny Horton's or Jimmy Driftwood's version of this song. I never knew that Pete Seeger had any involvement with writing it, and I do not know of any recording of it by him. I happen to be partial to the version by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Versions by any of these people should be available in any decent record store or any number of internet sources.

I found the lyrics for "Battle of New Orleans" recorded by Pete Seeger, Jimmy Drifwood and Johnny Horton. Can I get a recording of this for my 8th grade history class??
