Battle Of New Orleans

In 1814 we took a little trip
 Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
 Took a little bacon and we took a little beans
 And we faught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
 [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 began to runnin' on
 Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
 We stood on the banks and we watched the British come.
 There must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
 They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
 We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.
 [Chorus]
 Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
 If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye
 We stood our ground 'til we see'd their faces well.
 Then we grabbed our squirrel guns and really gave 'em hell
 [Chorus]
 Well they ran through the briar
 They ran through the brambles
 And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go.
 They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
 Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
 We fired our cannon 'til the cannon melted down.
 Then we grabbed an alligator and we went another round.
 Filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
 And when we lit the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
 [Chorus]
 Well they ran through the briar
 They ran through the brambles
 And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go.
 They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
 Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
 Sound off...
 Here we go!
 Well Yankee Doodle went to town
 Riding on a poney
 Stuck a feather in his hat
 And called it macaroni
 Yankee Doodle keep it up
 Yankee doodle dandy
 Mind the music and the steps
 And with those girls be handy
