The Battle Of New Orleans - Johnny Horton

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 caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

We fired our guns and the British kept on comin

There wasnt neigh 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 behind our cotton bales and didnt say a thing.

We fired our guns and the British kept on comin

There wasnt neigh 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.

Ol Hickory said we could take em by surprise

If we didnt fire our muskets til we looked em in the eyes

We held our fire til we seen their faces well

Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave em, well.

We fired our guns and the British kept on comin

There wasnt neigh 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 couldnt go.

They ran so fast that the hounds couldnt catch em

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

We fired our cannon til the barrel melted down

Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

We filled his head with cannonballs and powered his behind

And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind.

We fired our guns and the British kept on comin

There wasnt neigh 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.

They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldnt go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldnt catch em

A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
