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 wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:22]
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 didn't say a thing[00:00:41]
We fired our guns and the british kept on comin'[00:00:44]
There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:47]
We fired once more and they began to runnin'[00:00:49]
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 didn't 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 wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:12]
We fired once more and they began to runnin'[00:01:14]
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 couldn't go[00:01:25]
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't 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[00:01:46]
We fired our guns and the british kept on comin'[00:01:49]
There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:52]
We fired once more and they began to runnin'[00:01:54]
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 couldn't go[00:02:05]
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em[00:02:08]
A down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:02:10]
