In 1814 we took a little trip |
[00:12.41] |
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip |
[00:15.09] |
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans |
[00:17.63] |
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans. |
[00:20.32] |
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' |
[00:23.14] |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
[00:25.45] |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' |
[00:28.57] |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico |
[00:34.04] |
We looked down the river and we see'd the British come |
[00:36.65] |
And there must've been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum |
[00:39.31] |
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring |
[00:41.96] |
We stood beside our cotton bales, didn't say a thing |
[00:44.65] |
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' |
[00:47.51] |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
[00:49.94] |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' |
[00:53.03] |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico |
[00:58.16] |
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise |
[01:00.87] |
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eye |
[01:03.61] |
We held our fire till we seen their faces well |
[01:06.36] |
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well |
[01:10.03] |
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' |
[01:12.58] |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
[01:15.26] |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' |
[01:18.00] |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico |
[01:23.36] |
Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles |
[01:25.90] |
And they ran through the bushes, where a rabbit couldn't go |
[01:28.76] |
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em |
[01:31.38] |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico |
[01:36.69] |
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down |
[01:42.04] |
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round |
[01:44.72] |
We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind |
[01:47.44] |
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind |
[01:50.38] |
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' |
[01:52.78] |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
[01:55.54] |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' |
[01:58.31] |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico |
[02:03.53] |
Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles |
[02:06.29] |
And they ran through the bushes, where a rabbit couldn't go |
[02:09.13] |
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em |
[02:11.75] |
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico |
[02:16.63] |
