Battle Of New Orleans Sözleri

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 met the bloody British near the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

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

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

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 hubdred of 'em beatin' on the drums

They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring

While we stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns...

Old Hickory said we'd take 'em by surprise

If we didn't fire our 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

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 the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Well we fired our cannon till the barrel melted down

Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind

And when we took the powder off the gator lost his mind

We fired our guns...

We fired our guns...
