Letra de The Battle of New Orleans
Well, 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 We met the bloody British in a town of New OrleansWell, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin a-runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoWe looked down a river and we've see the British come There must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on a drum They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thingWe fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin a-runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoOld Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eyes We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em... wellWe fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin a-runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoAnd they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where the rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoWe fired our cannon 'til 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 powder off the gator lost his mindThey ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where the rabbit couldn't go They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoWe fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoThe Gulf of MexicoTo the Gulf of Mexico
