[ti:The Battle of New Orleans]
[ar:Johnny Horton]
[00:09.403]In 1814we  took  a  little  trip
[00:12.338]Along  with  Colonel  Jackson  down  the  mighty  Mississip
[00:15.39]We  took  a  little  bacon  and  we  took  a  little  beans
[00:17.562]And  we  caught  the  bloody  British  in  a  town  in  New  Orleans
[00:20.324]We  fired  our  guns  and  the  British  kept  a-comin'
[00:23.110]There  wasn't  nigh  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
[00:25.760]We  fired  once  more  and  they  begin  to  runnin'
[00:28.411]On  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
[00:33.614]We  looked  down  a  river
[00:34.869]And  we  see'd  the  British  come
[00:36.369]And  there  must  have  been  a  hundred  of'em
[00:37.770]Beatin'on  the  drums
[00:39.70]They  stepped  so  high
[00:40.120]And  they  made  their  bugles  ring
[00:41.720]We  stood  by  our  cotton  bales
[00:43.170]And  didn't  say  a  thing
[00:44.520]We  fired  our  guns  and  the  British  kept  a-comin'
[00:47.211]There  wasn't  nigh  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
[00:49.862]We  fired  once  more  and  they  begin  to  runnin'
[00:52.512]On  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
[00:57.729]Old  Hickory  said  we  could  take 'em  by  surprise
[01:00.409]If  we  didn't  fire  our  muskets
[01:01.609]'Till  we  looked 'em  in  the  eye
[01:03.209]We  held  our  fire
[01:04.310]'Till  we  see'd  their  faces  well
[01:05.809]Then  we  opened  up  our  squirrel  guns
[01:07.09]And  really  gave 'em -well  we
[01:09.460]Fired  our  guns  and  the  British  kept  a-comin'
[01:11.860]There  wasn't  nigh  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
[01:14.710]We  fired  once  more  and  they  begin  to  runnin'
[01:17.331]On  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
[01:22.527]Yeah,they  ran  through  the  briars
[01:23.827]And  they  ran  through  the  brambles
[01:25.127]And  they  ran  through  the  bushes
[01:26.377]Where  the  rabbit  couldn't  go
[01:28.41]They  ran  so  fast
[01:29.41]That  the  hounds  couldn't  catch 'em
[01:30.592]On  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
[01:38.591]We  fired  our  cannon 'til  the  barrel  melted  down
[01:41.193]So  we  grabbed  an  alligator  and  we  fought  another  round
[01:43.914]We  filled  his  head  with  cannon  balls,and  powdered  his  behind
[01:46.519]And  when  we  touched  the  powder  off  the  gator  lost  his  mind
[01:49.369]We  fired  our  guns  and  the  British  kept  a-comin'
[01:52.20]There  wasn't  nigh  as  many  as  there  was  a  while  ago
[01:54.821]We  fired  once  more  and  they  begin  to  runnin'
[01:57.321]On  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
[02:02.619]Yeah,they  ran  through  the  briars
[02:03.969]And  they  ran  through  the  brambles
[02:05.322]And  they  ran  through  the  bushes
[02:06.672]Where  the  rabbit  couldn't  go
[02:08.173]They  ran  so  fast
[02:09.173]That  the  hounds  couldn't  catch 'em
[02:10.773]On  down  the  Mississippi  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico
