The Battle of New Orleans

[00:37.90] In 1814 we took a little trip

[00:40.64] Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'

[00:43.15] We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

[00:45.90] And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

[00:48.64] We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

[00:51.15] There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

[00:53.90] We fired once more and they began to runnin'

[00:56.39] On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[01:01.64] We looked down a river and we see'd the British come

[01:04.39] And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum

[01:07.14] They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring

[01:09.64] We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

[01:12.65] We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

[01:15.40] There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

[01:17.89] We fired once more and they began to runnin'

[01:20.65] On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[01:25.89] Old Hickory said, "We could take 'em by surprise

[01:28.65] If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye"

[01:30.89] We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well

[01:33.89] Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em

[01:36.90] Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

[01:40.15] There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

[01:42.90] We fired once more and they began to runnin'

[01:45.40] On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[01:50.65] Yeah, they ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles

[01:53.40] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

[01:56.15] They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

[01:58.65] On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[02:06.65] We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down

[02:09.14] So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

[02:12.39] We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind

[02:14.65] And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind

[02:17.40] We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

[02:19.89] There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

[02:22.90] We fired once more and they began to runnin'

[02:25.40] On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[02:30.65] Yeah, they ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles

[02:33.39] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

[02:36.15] They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

[02:38.64] On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
