The Battle Of New Orleans - Johnny Horton[00:00:00]
In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip[00:00:09]
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp[00:00:12]
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans[00:00:15]
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans [00:00:17]
We fired our guns and the British kept on comin[00:00:20]
There wasnt neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:23]
We fired once more and they began to runnin[00:00:25]
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:00:28]
We looked down the river and we seen the British come[00:00:33]
And there must have been a hundred of em beatin on the drum[00:00:36]
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring[00:00:39]
We stood behind our cotton bales and didnt say a thing [00:00:41]
We fired our guns and the British kept on comin[00:00:44]
There wasnt neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:47]
We fired once more and they began to runnin[00:00:50]
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:00:52]
Ol Hickory said we could take em by surprise[00:00:57]
If we didnt fire our muskets til we looked em in the eyes[00:01:00]
We held our fire til we seen their faces well[00:01:03]
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave em well [00:01:05]
We fired our guns and the British kept on comin[00:01:09]
There wasnt neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:12]
We fired once more and they began to runnin[00:01:15]
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:01:17]
Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles[00:01:22]
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldnt go [00:01:25]
They ran so fast that the hounds couldnt catch em[00:01:28]
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:01:30]
We fired our cannon til the barrel melted down[00:01:38]
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round[00:01:41]
We filled his head with cannonballs and powered his behind[00:01:44]
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind [00:01:47]
We fired our guns and the British kept on comin[00:01:49]
There wasnt neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:52]
We fired once more and they began to runnin[00:01:55]
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:01:57]
They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles[00:02:02]
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldnt go[00:02:05]
They ran so fast that the hounds couldnt catch em[00:02:08]
A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:02:10]
Hut two three four[00:02:14]
Sound off three four[00:02:16]
Hut two three four[00:02:18]
Sound off three four[00:02:21]
