The Battle of New Orleans
[Intro]
(Hut-two-three-four)
(Hut-two-three-four)
[Verse 1]
In 1814 we took a little trip (Hut-two-three-four)
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip (Hut-two-three-four)
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans (Hut-two-three-four)
And we caught the bloody British in the town in New Orleans (Hut-two-three-four)
[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse 2]
We looked down the river and we see the British come (Hut-two-three-four)
There must have been a hundrеd of 'em beatin' on the drums (Hut-two-three-four)
Thеy stepped so high and they made their bugles ring (Hut-two-three-four)
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing (Hut-two-three-four)
[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Post-Chorus]
(Fired our guns)
(Fired our guns)
[Verse 3]
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise (Fired our guns)
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye (Fired our guns)
We held our fire 'til we see their faces well (Fired our guns)
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em, well (Fired our guns)
[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse 4]
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 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse 5]
(Hut-two-three-four)
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down (Hut-two-three-four)
So we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round (Hut-two-three-four)
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind (Hut-two-three-four)
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind (Hut-two-three-four)
[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse 6]
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 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Outro]
(Hut-two-three-four)
(Hut-two-three-four)
(Hut-two-three-four)
(Hut-two-three-four)
(Hut-two-three-four)
