The Battle of New Orleans - Jimmie Driftwood[00:00:00]

Well in 1814 we took a little trip[00:00:02]

Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip[00:00:05]

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans[00:00:08]

And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans[00:00:11]

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin[00:00:13]

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:15]

We fired once more and they began to runnin' on[00:00:18]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:00:21]

Well I seed Mars Jackson come a-walkin' down the street[00:00:25]

And a-talkin' to a pirate by the name of Jean Lafitte[00:00:28]

He gave Jean a drink that he brung from Tennessee[00:00:31]

And the pirate said he'd help us[00:00:33]

Drive the British to the sea[00:00:35]

Well the French told Andrew[00:00:37]

You had better run[00:00:38]

For packenham's acomin' with a bullet in his gun[00:00:39]

Old hickory said he didn't give a d**n[00:00:42]

He's a-gonna whup the britches off of Colonel Packenham[00:00:45]

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'[00:00:47]

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

We fired once more and they began a running[00:00:52]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:00:55]

Well we looked down the river and we seed the British come[00:01:06]

And there must have been a hundred[00:01:10]

Of them beating on the drum[00:01:11]

They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring[00:01:13]

While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing[00:01:15]

Old hickory said we could take e'm by surprise[00:01:19]

If we didn't fire a musket till[00:01:21]

We looked e'm in the eyes[00:01:23]

We held our fire till we seed their face well[00:01:24]

Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave e'm well[00:01:27]

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'[00:01:29]

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:31]

We fired once more and they began a running[00:01:35]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:01:37]

Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles[00:01:41]

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go[00:01:44]

They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch e'm[00:01:48]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:01:50]

Well we fired our cannons till the barrels melted down[00:01:54]

So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round[00:01:57]

We filled his head with minie balls and powdered his behind[00:02:00]

And when we touched the powder off the 'gator lost his mind[00:02:03]

They lost their pants and their pretty shiny coats[00:02:06]

And their tails was all a-showin' like a bunch of billy goats[00:02:09]

They ran down the river with their tongues a-hanging out[00:02:12]

And they said they got a lickin' which there wasn't any doubt[00:02:14]

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'[00:02:17]

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

We fired once more and they began a running[00:02:23]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:02:26]

Well we marched back to town in our dirty ragged pants[00:02:29]

And we danced all night with the pretty girls from France[00:02:33]

We couldn't understand 'em but they had the sweetest charms[00:02:36]

And we understood 'em better when we got 'em in our arms[00:02:39]

Well the guide who brung the British from the sea[00:02:42]

Come a-limping into camp just as sick as he could be[00:02:44]

He said the dying words of Colonel Packenham[00:02:48]

Was you better quit your foolin' with your cousin Uncle Sam[00:02:50]

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'[00:02:53]

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:02:55]

We fired once more and they began a running[00:02:58]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:03:00]

Well we'll March back home but we'll never be content[00:03:04]

Till we make old hick'ry the people's president[00:03:07]

And every time we think about the bacon and the beans[00:03:11]

We'll think about the fun we had way down in New Orleans[00:03:13]

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'[00:03:15]

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:03:18]

We fired once more and they began a running[00:03:21]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:03:24]

Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles[00:03:27]

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go[00:03:30]

They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch 'em[00:03:34]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:03:36]

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'[00:03:39]

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:03:41]

We fired once more and they began a running[00:03:44]

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico[00:03:47]
