BATTLE,OF,NEW'ORLEANS
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 beens,
we met the bloody British near the town of New Orleans,
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
there wuzn't quite as many as there was a mile ago
we fired once more and they began a runnin'
on down to Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
river and we seed the British come there
must have been a hundred of em beatin' on thier drums
they steped so high and they made thier bugles ring
while we stood beside our cotton bales didn't say a thing
we fired our guns and the British kept a commin'
there wuzn't quite as many as there was a mile ago
we fired once more and they began a runnin'
on down to Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico,
we could take them by surprise
if we didn't fire our muskets till we looked em' in the eyes,
we held our fire till we seed the British come
then we opened up our squirel guns and really gave them well,
we, fired our guns and the British kept a commin'
there wuzn't quite as many as there was a mile ago
we fired once more and they began a runnin'
on down to Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico
and they ran thru the brambles
they ran thru the bushes where a Rabbit could'nt go
they ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch em on
down to Missisippi to the gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannons till the barrel melted down
so we grabed an Alligator and we pulled another round
we filled his head with cannon balls powderd his behind
and when we set the powder off the gaitor lost his mind,
we fired our guns and the British kept a commin'
there wuzn't quite as many as there was a mile ago
we fired once more and they began a runnin'
on down to Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico
thru the bries and they ran thru the brambles
they ran thru the bushes where a Rabbit couldn't go
they ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch em
on down to Misissippi thru the gulf of Mexico
