Independence Day Songs

Does anyone have some good recommendations for Independence Day?

So far, I've come up with a short list of bluegrass and classic country on my blog:

Battle Hymn of the Republic (bluegrass banjo version)
Battle of New Orleans (Johnny Horton)
Ragged Old Flag (Johnny Cash)
American Made (Oak Ridge Boys)

Have a safe and happy 4th,

S.P. Gass

The Cuckoo
traditional

Oh the cuckoo she'a pretty bird
She wobbles as she flies
She don't never holler cuckoo
'Til the fourth day of July

Gonna build me log cabin
On the mountain so high
So that I can see Willie
As he goes on by

Jack of Diamonds, Jack of Diamonds
I know you of old
You done robbed my poor pockets
Of my silver and gold

I've played cards in England
I've played cards in Spain
I bet you ten dollars
I'll beat you again

Oh the cuckoo she'a pretty bird
She wobbles as she flies
She don't never holler cuckoo
'Til the fourth day of July

B attle of New Orleans was in the war of 1812 - 14. The war war actually over when the battle took place. Hardly a song for July 4.. Terry Siner Have a good July 4. To all my friends in the USA
