Claude King - Battle Of New Orleans слова песни
In eighteen-fourteen we took a little tripAlong with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp`We took a little bacon and we took a little beansAnd we caught the bloody British in the town of New OrleansWe fired our guns and the British kept a comin`Wasn`t night as many as there was a while agoWe fired once more and they began to runnin`On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoWe looked down the river and we seen the British comeAnd there must`ve been a hubdred of `em beatin` on the drumThey stepped so high and they began to singWe stood beside the cotton bails and didn`t say a thingWe fired our gun...Old Hickory said we could take `em by surpriseIf we didn`t fire a musket till we looked `em in the eyesWe held our fire till we seen their faces wellThen we opened up our aquirrel guns and really gave `em hellWe fired our guns...Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the bramblesAnd they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn`t goThey ran so fast that the hounds couldn`t catch `emDown the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoWe fired our cannon till the barrel melted downThen we grabbed an alligator and we fought another roundWe filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behindAnd when we took the powder off the `gator lost his mindWe fired our guns and the British kept a comin`...Yeah they ran through the briars...
