Over 25 years ago I heard a song about the Battle of Murfreesboro, it was on a personal recorded cassette tape full of old country songs. I had always assumed that it was done by Johnny Horton, but I can not find a song about Murfreesboro through any search on the internet. I can remember little of the words, but it stqarted out with;
Murfreesboro was a peaceful town,
In the middle of Tennesee...
The chorus or bridge, started;
While the Yanks were sleeping, Forrest's men were creeping, right up to there front door,
I am wondering if anyone can tell me the actual name of this song, and who performed it.
