Battle of New Orleans Lyrics

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
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 a-coming
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a-running
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We looked down the river and see the British coming
And there must've been a hundred of them beating on the drums
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-coming
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a-running
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fired our muskets till we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire till we see their faces well
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em... well We fired our guns and the British kept a-comingJohnny Norton - Battle of New Orleans - http://motolyrics.com/johnny-norton/battle-of-new-orleans-lyrics.html
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a-running
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
Down to the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind
And when we touched the power off the gator lost his mind We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a-running
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
Down to the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
