The Hunters of Kentucky
''The Hunters of Kentucky'', also called ''The Battle of New Orleans'' and ''Half Horse or Half Alligator'', was a song written in 1821 to commemorate Andrew Jackson's victory over the British at the Battle of New Orleans. In both 1824 and 1828 Jackson used the song as his campaign song during his presidential campaigns.〔Hickey p.347〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hunters of Kentucky. Or Half Horse and Half Alligator. )〕〔Faragher p.335〕
==Origin==
''Hunters of Kentucky'' was written in 1821 by Samuel Woodworth, whose fame rest on ''Hunters'' and another poem that was turned into the song (''The Old Oaken Bucket''). One-fourth of Jackson's men at the Battle of New Orleans were from Kentucky.〔 The tune for the song is available on the website〕 It was sung the way Irish singers told stories in narrative form, and performed to the tune of ''Ally Croker'' and ''The Unfortunate Miss Bailey''.〔
It was first sung in New Orleans in 1822 by Noah M. Ludlow. When Ludlow first performed the song, the audience was filled with boatmen who had floated down the Mississippi River from Kentucky; they refused to let him leave the stage until he sang it two more times.〔〔Watson p.124〕〔Faragher pp.334,335〕
