Horton Johnny - Battle Of New Orleans слова песни
Battle Of New OrleansIn 1814 we took a little trip, Along with Col. Jacksondown the mighty Mississip. We took a little bacon, andwe took a little beans. And we met the bloody British nearthe town of New Orleans.Chorus IWe looked down the river and we seen the British come,An there must have been a hundred of them beatin on the drum.They stepped so high & they made their bugles ring, westood beside our cotton bails & didn`t say a thing.Chorus IOld Hickory said we could take `em by surprise if we didn`tfire our muskets `til we looked them in the eye.We held our fire `til we see`d their faces well, then weopened up our squirrel guns & really gave `em WELL....Chorus IChorus IIThey ran thru the briars and they ran thru the brambles andthey ran thru the bushes where a rabbit wouldn`t go.They ran so fast the the hounds couldn`t catch `em on downthe Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down, then we grabbedan alligator & we fought another round. We filled his head withcannon balls, & powered his behind `n when we touched thepowder off the gator lost his mind.Chorus IChorus II
