Battle Of New OrleansIn 1814 we took a little trip, Along with Col. Jacksondown the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon, andwe took a little beans. And we met the bloody British nearthe town of New Orleans.Chorus IWe looked down the river and we seen the British come,An there must have been a hundred of them beatin on the drum.They stepped so high & they made their bugles ring, westood beside our cotton bails & didn't say a thing.Chorus IOld Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise if we didn'tfire our muskets 'til we looked them in the eye.We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well, then weopened up our squirrel guns & really gave 'em WELL....Chorus IChorus IIThey ran thru the briars and they ran thru the brambles andthey ran thru the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go.They ran so fast the the hounds couldn't catch 'em on downthe Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down, then we grabbedan alligator & we fought another round. We filled his head withcannon balls, & powered his behind 'n when we touched thepowder off the gator lost his mind.Chorus IChorus II
