THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS WAS BY JOHNNY HORTON

could very well be. Maybe the person claiming it was referring to someone who sang it...

Hmm. Maybe Jimmy Driftwood made it first! Who knows? Tonight I have the song "Jambalya" on my mind a lot. It seems to suit New Orleans well.

Just for information to anyone interested! ;-)

Jimmy Driftwood wrote it.
Johnny Horton made it #1 in 1959.
