The Battle Of New Orleans

歌詞

In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp' We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' Wasn't night as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We looked down the river and we seen the British come And there must've been a hubdred of 'em beatin' on the drum They stepped so high and they began to sing We stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thing We fired our gun... Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire a musket till we looked 'em in the eyes We held our fire till we seen their faces well Then we opened up our aquirrel guns and really gave 'em hell We fired our guns... Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a 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 cannon till the barrel melted down Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind And when we took the powder off the 'gator lost his mind We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'... Yeah they ran through the briars...
