[00:00.000] 作曲 : Traditional [00:07.05]Well, this here's the story about the Battle of New Orleans, [00:10.61]which was fit between the Yankees of course and them there English people, [00:17.30]in which the British came off rather ignominiously. [00:24.30]Well, in 1814, we took a little trip, [00:26.36]along the Colonel Packenham down the mighty Mississipp. [00:33.68]We took a little bacon and we took a little beans, [00:36.61]and we fought the bloomin' British in the town of New Orleans [00:41.49]Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin', [00:44.55]there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. [00:48.12]We fired once more and they began a running, [00:50.68]on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. [00:59.87]Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come, [01:02.43]there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum. [01:05.37]They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring, [01:08.24]well, we stood beside our cotton bales and never said a thing. [01:11.18]Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come, [01:14.40] [01:23.48]and there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum. [01:29.85]They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring, [01:32.35]While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. [01:43.31]Well, Packenham said we could take 'em by surprise, [01:45.55] [02:00.43]if we didn't fire a musket till we looked `em in the eyes. [02:02.56]Well, we stood quite still till we see their face well, [02:04.62]then we opened up our muskets and we really gave 'em well. [02:06.74]Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin', [02:08.43]there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. [02:10.49]We fired once more and they began a running, [02:10.93]on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. [02:11.80]Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles, [02:14.87]and they ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go. [02:16.81]They ran so fast that the houndscouldn't catch 'em, [02:19.30]all down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. [02:22.17] [02:28.16]Well, we fired our muskets so the barrels melted down, [02:30.65]then grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. [02:33.66]Well, we stuffed his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind, [02:39.54]so when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind. [02:41.72]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. 4x
