BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS
by Johnny Horton

C F
In 1814 we took a little trip
G7 C
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty mississip'
F
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
G7 C
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans

chorus

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
G7 C
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin'
G7 C
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

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

Repeat chorus

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we see their faces well
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em Well...

Repeat chorus

2ND CHORUS

Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
G7 C
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
G7 C
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 cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind

Repeat 1ST chorus

Repeat 2ND chorus
