《The Battle of New Orleans》歌词

时长： 03:08

Well, this here's the story about the Battle of New Orleans,[00:00:07]

Which was fit between the Yankees of course and them there English people,[00:00:10]

In which the British came off rather ignominiously.[00:00:17]

Well, in 1814, we took a little trip,[00:00:24]

Along the Colonel Packenham down the mighty Mississipp.[00:00:26]

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,[00:00:33]

And we fought the bloomin' British in the town of New Orleans[00:00:36]

Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin',[00:00:41]

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.[00:00:44]

We fired once more and they began a running,[00:00:48]

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.[00:00:50]

Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come,[00:00:59]

There must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum.[00:01:02]

They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring,[00:01:05]

Well, we stood beside our cotton bales and never said a thing.[00:01:08]

Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come,[00:01:11]

And there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum.[00:01:23]

They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring,[00:01:29]

While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.[00:01:32]

Well, Packenham said we could take 'em by surprise,[00:01:43]

If we didn't fire a musket till we looked `em in the eyes.[00:02:00]

Well, we stood quite still till we see their face well,[00:02:02]

Then we opened up our muskets and we really gave 'em well.[00:02:04]

Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin',[00:02:06]

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.[00:02:08]

We fired once more and they began a running,[00:02:10]

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.[00:02:10]

Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,[00:02:11]

And they ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go.[00:02:14]

They ran so fast that the houndscouldn't catch 'em,[00:02:16]

All down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.[00:02:19]

Well, we fired our muskets so the barrels melted down,[00:02:28]

Then grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.[00:02:30]

Well, we stuffed his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind,[00:02:33]

So when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.[00:02:39]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. 4x[00:02:41]
