Karaoké Battle of New Orleans Johnny Horton

In eighteen fourteen we took a little trip along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

And we caught the bloody British

In the town of New Orleans

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 began to runnin' on down the Mississippi to

The Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come

And there must have been a hundred

Of 'em beatin' on the drum

They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring

We stood beside

Our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

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 began to runnin'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise

If we didn't fire our muskets

'Till we looked 'em in the eye

We held our fire 'till we see'd their faces well then we opened up

Our squirrel guns and really gave em' well

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 began to runnin'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

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

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon 'till the barrel melted down

So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

We filled his head with cannon balls 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 nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

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

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
