Battle Of New Orleans - Craig Douglas

In 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 we fought the bloody British in

The town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a coming

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to running

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we seed the British come

And there must've been a hundred of em

Beating on the drum

They stepped so high and made their bugles sing

We stood beside our cotton bails and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept a coming

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to running

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Old hickory said we take em by surprise

If we didn't fire muskets till

We looked em in the eyes

We held our fire till we seed their faces well

Then we opened up our squirrel guns and

Really gave em hell

We fired our guns and the British kept a coming

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to running

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

They ran to the briars

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 guns and the British kept a coming

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to running

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

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
