The Battle of New Orleans (Live) - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional[00:00:03]

In eighteen fourteen we took a little trip[00:00:36]

Along with colonel jackson down the mighty mississipp'[00:00:39]

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans[00:00:42]

And we caught the bloody british in the town of new orleans[00:00:44]

We fired our guns and the british kept on comin'[00:00:47]

There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:49]

We fired once more and they began to runnin'[00:00:52]

On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:00:55]

We looked down the river and we seen the british come[00:01:01]

And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin on the drum[00:01:03]

They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring[00:01:06]

We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing[00:01:08]

We fired our guns and the british kept on comin'[00:01:11]

There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:14]

We fired once more and they began to runnin'[00:01:17]

On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:01:19]

Ol' hickory said we could take 'em by surprise[00:01:25]

If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eyes[00:01:27]

We held our fire 'til we seen their faces well[00:01:30]

Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em well[00:01:33]

We fired our guns and the british kept on comin'[00:01:36]

There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:39]

We fired once more and they began to runnin'[00:01:42]

On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:01:44]

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles[00:01:50]

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go[00:01:52]

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em[00:01:55]

Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:01:58]

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down[00:02:06]

Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round[00:02:09]

We filled his head with cannonballs and powered his behind[00:02:11]

And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind[00:02:14]

We fired our guns and the british kept on comin'[00:02:17]

There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:02:19]

We fired once more and they began to runnin'[00:02:22]

On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:02:25]

They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles[00:02:30]

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go[00:02:33]

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em[00:02:36]

A down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:02:38]
