The Battle of New Orleans - The Brothers Four
In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British
In the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British
Kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we seen the British come
And there must have been a hundred of
Them beatin on the drum
They stepped so high
And they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales
And didn't say a thing
We fired our guns and
The British kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh as many
As there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Fired our guns fired our guns
Oh Hickory said we could take them by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets
Stil we looked them in the eyes
We held our fire stil we seen their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
And really gave them well
We fired our guns and
The British kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh
As many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah they ran through the
Briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes
Where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds
Couldn't catch them
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon until the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and
We fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs
And powered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the
Gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
They ran through the briars
And they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes
Where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them
