Well, this here's the story about the Battle of New Orleans, |
| [00:10.61] |
which was fit between the Yankees of course and them there English people, |
| [00:17.30] |
in which the British came off rather ignominiously. |
| [00:24.30] |
Well, in 1814, we took a little trip, |
| [00:26.36] |
along the Colonel Packenham down the mighty Mississipp. |
| [00:33.68] |
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans, |
| [00:36.61] |
and we fought the bloomin' British in the town of New Orleans |
| [00:41.49] |
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin', |
| [00:44.55] |
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
| [00:48.12] |
We fired once more and they began a running, |
| [00:50.68] |
on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| [00:59.87] |
Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come, |
| [01:02.43] |
there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum. |
| [01:05.37] |
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring, |
| [01:08.24] |
well, we stood beside our cotton bales and never said a thing. |
| [01:11.18] |
Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come, |
| [01:14.40] |
|
| [01:23.48] |
and there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum. |
| [01:29.85] |
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring, |
| [01:32.35] |
While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. |
| [01:43.31] |
Well, Packenham said we could take 'em by surprise, |
| [01:45.55] |
|
| [02:00.43] |
if we didn't fire a musket till we looked `em in the eyes. |
| [02:02.56] |
Well, we stood quite still till we see their face well, |
| [02:04.62] |
then we opened up our muskets and we really gave 'em well. |
| [02:06.74] |
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin', |
| [02:08.43] |
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
| [02:10.49] |
We fired once more and they began a running, |
| [02:10.93] |
on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| [02:11.80] |
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles, |
| [02:14.87] |
and they ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go. |
| [02:16.81] |
They ran so fast that the houndscouldn't catch 'em, |
| [02:19.30] |
all down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| [02:22.17] |
|
| [02:28.16] |
Well, we fired our muskets so the barrels melted down, |
| [02:30.65] |
then grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. |
| [02:33.66] |
Well, we stuffed his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind, |
| [02:39.54] |
so when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind. |
| [02:41.72] |
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. 4x |
