Lyrics Battle of New Orleans

In the eighteen fourteen we took a little trip along with colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And they caught the bloody British
In a town in New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There wasn't now 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 the river and we seen the British come
And there must have been a hundred
Of 'em beatin' on the drum
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 now 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
Ole' Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets
'Till we looked them in the eye
We held our fire 'till we see 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 now 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
We fired our cannon 'till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we pulled another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 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 now 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
Hup two three four down four hup four
Hup two three four down four hup four
Hup two three four down four hup four
Hup two three four down four hup
