The Battle of New Orleans-Johnny Horton/Tony Bennett

The Battle of New Orleans (新奥尔良战役) - Johnny Horton/Tony Bennett (托尼·班奈特) 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 on comin' There wasn't neigh 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 seen 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 behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. We fired our guns and the British kept on comin' There wasn't neigh 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. Ol' Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eyes We held our fire 'til we seen their faces well Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave em, well. We fired our guns and the British kept on comin' There wasn't neigh 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 Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannonballs and powered his behind And when we touched the powder off the 'gator lost his mind. We fired our guns and the British kept on comin' There wasn't neigh 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. 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 A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
