The Battle Of New Orleans Lyrics
[00:09.84] Yeah, they ran through the briers, and they ran through the brambles
[00:12.50] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
[00:14.98] They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[00:17.77] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:21.52] Well, in 1814, we took a little trip
[00:24.13] Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
[00:26.62] We took a little bacon, and we took a little beans
[00:28.91] And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
[00:31.39] We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
[00:34.02] There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
[00:36.13] We fired once more and they began to running
[00:38.77] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:41.45]
[00:52.85] Well, we looked down the river, and we seen the British come
[00:55.42] And there must have been a hundred of 'em beating on the drums
[00:57.62] They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
[00:59.98] And we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
[01:02.59] Fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
[01:05.21] There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
[01:07.53] We fired once more and they began to running
[01:09.96] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:12.72]
[01:24.06] Well, we fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
[01:26.39] And we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
[01:29.02] Filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
[01:31.48] And when we set the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind
[01:33.98] Fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
[01:36.16] There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
[01:38.63] We fired once more and they began to running
[01:41.23] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:45.14] Yeah, they ran through the briers, and they ran through the brambles
[01:47.67] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
[01:50.15] They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[01:52.69] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:55.58]
[00:12.50] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
[00:14.98] They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[00:17.77] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
