The Battle Of New Orleans

In 1814, we took a little trip
 Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
 We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
 And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
 We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
 There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
 We fired once more and they began to runnin'
 On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
 We looked down a river
 And we see'd the British come
 And there must have been a hundred of 'em
 Beatin' on the drums
 They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
 We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
 We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
 There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
 We fired once more and they began to runnin'
 On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
 Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
 If we didn't fire our muskets
 'Til we looked 'em in the eye
 We held our fire
 'Til we see'd their faces well
 Then we opened up our squirrel guns
 And really gave 'em, well
 We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
 There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
 We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
 On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
 Yeah, they ran through the briars
 And they ran through the brambles
 And they ran through the bushes
 Where a rabbit couldn't go
 They ran so fast
 That the hounds couldn't catch 'em
 On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
 ♪
 We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
 So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
 We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
 And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
 We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
 There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
 We fired once more and they began to runnin'
 On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
 Yeah, they ran through the briars
 And they ran through the brambles
 And they ran through the bushes
 Where a rabbit couldn't go
 They ran so fast
 That the hounds couldn't catch 'em
 On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
