The Battle of New Orleans

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>In 1814 we took a little trip<br/>Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip<br/>We took a little bacon and we took a little beans<br/>And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/>We fired our guns and the British kept a&#x27;coming<br/>There wasn&#x27;t nigh as many as there was a while ago<br/>We fired once more and they began to running on<br/>Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>We looked down the river and we see&#x27;d the British come<br/>And there must have been a hundred of&#x27;em beating on the drum<br/>They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring<br/>We stood by our cotton bales and didn&#x27;t say a thing<br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>Old Hickory said we could take them by surprise<br/>If we didn&#x27;t fire our muskets until we looked them in the eye<br/>We held our fire until we see&#x27;d their faces well<br/>Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave them ... well<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Verse 4]<br/>Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles<br/>And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn&#x27;t go<br/>They ran so fast that the hounds couldn&#x27;t catch them<br/>Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico<br/>We fired our cannon until the barrel melted down<br/>So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round<br/>We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind<br/>And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind<br/><br/>[Chorus]<br/><br/>[Outro]<br/>Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles<br/>And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn&#x27;t go<br/>They ran so fast that the hounds couldn&#x27;t catch them<br/>Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
