The Battle Of New Orleans

歌詞

Well, in 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip We took a little bacon and we took a little beans We met the bloody British in a town in New Orleans We fired our guns and the British kep a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin to runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We looked down a river And we see'd the British come And there must have been a hundred of 'em Beatin' on the drums They stepped so high And they made their bugles ring We stood beside our cotton bales And didn't say a thing We fired our guns and the British kep a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin to runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets 'Till we looked 'em in the eyes We held our fire 'Till we see'd their faces well Then we opened up our squirrel guns And really gave 'em - well we Fired our guns and the British kep a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin to runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Yeah, they ran through the briars And they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes Where the rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast That the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind Yeah, they ran through the briars And they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes Where the rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast That the hounds couldn't catch 'em Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We fired our guns and the British kep a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin to runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico To the Gulf of Mexico To the Gulf of Mexico
