 Rate Battle Of New Orleans
Artist : Nitty gritty dirt band
Song : Battle of new orleans
In 1814 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 fought the bloody british in the town of
new orleans.
We fired our guns and the british kept a comin’,
There wasn’t ’bout as many as there was awhile
ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
Oh we looked down the river and we seen the
british come.
There must have been a hundred of ’em beatin’ on
a drum.
They stepped so high and they made their bugles
ring.
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn¹t
say a thing.
Old hickory said we could take ’em by surprise,
If we didn¹t fire our muskets till we
looked ’em in the eyes.
We held our fire till we seen their faces well,
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave ’em
a little...well....we...
....fired our guns and the british kept a
comin’,
There wasn’t ’bout as many as there was awhile
ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
We fired our cannons till the barrels melted
down,
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fired another
round.
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered
his behind,
And when we touched the powder off, the gator
lost his mind.
We fired our guns and the british kept a comin’,
There wasn’t ’bout as many as there was awhile
ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
We fired our guns and the british kept a comin’,
There wasn’t ’bout as many as there was awhile
ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin’
On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico.
