In 1814 we took a little trip |
| [00:06.17] |
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip. |
| [00:09.28] |
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans |
| [00:12.07] |
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans. |
| [00:14.97] |
|
| [00:15.27] |
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin. |
| [00:17.53] |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
| [00:20.22] |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on |
| [00:23.24] |
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| [00:25.70] |
|
| [00:28.21] |
We looked down the river and we see'd the British come. |
| [00:31.16] |
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum. |
| [00:33.90] |
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring. |
| [00:36.47] |
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. |
| [00:39.54] |
|
| [00:39.93] |
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin. |
| [00:42.37] |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
| [00:45.30] |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on |
| [00:47.83] |
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| [00:50.54] |
|
| [00:53.23] |
Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles |
| [00:56.00] |
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go. |
| [00:58.92] |
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em |
| [01:01.69] |
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| [01:04.84] |
|
| [01:06.72] |
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down. |
| [01:09.60] |
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. |
| [01:12.53] |
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind |
| [01:15.48] |
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind. |
| [01:18.31] |
|
| [01:19.00] |
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin. |
| [01:20.91] |
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. |
| [01:23.93] |
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on |
| [01:26.71] |
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
| [01:29.48] |
|
| [01:31.66] |
Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles |
| [01:34.59] |
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go. |
| [01:37.49] |
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em |
| [01:40.65] |
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. |
