The 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

(CHORUS)

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 have been a

Hundred of em beating on the drum

They stepped so high

And they made their bugles ring

We stood behind our cotton bales

And didn't say a thing

(CHORUS)

Old Hickory said we

Could take em by surprise

If we didn't fire our musket

Til we looked em in the eyes

We held our fire tilVaughn Monroe - The Battle Of New Orleans - http://motolyrics.com/vaughn-monroe/the-battle-of-new-orleans-lyrics.html

Ee seed their faces well

Then we opened up our

Squirrel guns and gave em, well

(CHORUS)

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

On down the Mississippi

To the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon

Til the barrel melted down

So we grabbed an alligator

And we fought another round

We filled his head with cannonballs

And powdered his behind

And when we touched the powder off

The gator lost his mind

(CHORUS)

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

On down the Mississippi

To the Gulf of Mexico
