Battle of New Orleans

Battle Of New Orleans

In 1814 we took a little trip, Along with Col. Jackson

down the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon, and

we took a little beans. And we met the bloody British near

the town of New Orleans.

Chorus I

We 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, we

stood beside our cotton bails & didn't say a thing.

Chorus I

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise if we didn't

fire our muskets 'til we looked them in the eye.

We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well, then we

opened up our squirrel guns & really gave 'em WELL....

Chorus I

Chorus II

They ran thru the briars and they ran thru the brambles and

they ran thru the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go.

They ran so fast the the hounds couldn't catch 'em on down

the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down, then we grabbed

an alligator & we fought another round. We filled his head with

cannon balls, & powered his behind 'n when we touched the

powder off the gator lost his mind.

Chorus I
