The Battle of New Orleans-Johnny Horton

[00:09.89]In 1814 we took a little trip [00:12.41]Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip [00:15.09]We took a little bacon and we took a little beans [00:17.63]And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans. [00:20.32]We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' [00:23.14]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. [00:25.45]We fired once more and they began to runnin' [00:28.57]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:34.04]We looked down the river and we see'd the British come [00:36.65]And there must've been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum [00:39.31]They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring [00:41.96]We stood beside our cotton bales, didn't say a thing [00:44.65]We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' [00:47.51]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. [00:49.94]We fired once more and they began to runnin' [00:53.03]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [00:58.16]Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise [01:00.87]If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eye [01:03.61]We held our fire till we seen their faces well [01:06.36]Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well [01:10.03]We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' [01:12.58]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. [01:15.26]We fired once more and they began to runnin' [01:18.00]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [01:23.36]Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles [01:25.90]And they ran through the bushes, where a rabbit couldn't go [01:28.76]They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em [01:31.38]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [01:36.69]We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down [01:42.04]So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round [01:44.72]We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind [01:47.44]And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind [01:50.38]We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' [01:52.78]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. [01:55.54]We fired once more and they began to runnin' [01:58.31]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [02:03.53]Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles [02:06.29]And they ran through the bushes, where a rabbit couldn't go [02:09.13]They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em [02:11.75]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [02:16.63]
