The Battle of New Orleans歌词

[00:07.05]Well, this here's the story about the Battle of New Orleans,
[00:10.61]which was fit between the Yankees of course and them there English people,
[00:17.30]in which the British came off rather ignominiously.
[00:24.30]Well, in 1814, we took a little trip,
[00:26.36]along the Colonel Packenham down the mighty Mississipp.
[00:33.68]We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
[00:36.61]and we fought the bloomin' British in the town of New Orleans
[00:41.49]Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin',
[00:44.55]there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
[00:48.12]We fired once more and they began a running,
[00:50.68]on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[00:59.87]Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come,
[01:02.43]there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum.
[01:05.37]They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring,
[01:08.24]well, we stood beside our cotton bales and never said a thing.
[01:11.18]Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come,
[01:14.40]
[01:23.48]and there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum.
[01:29.85]They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring,
[01:32.35]While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.
[01:43.31]Well, Packenham said we could take 'em by surprise,
[01:45.55]
[02:00.43]if we didn't fire a musket till we looked `em in the eyes.
[02:02.56]Well, we stood quite still till we see their face well,
[02:04.62]then we opened up our muskets and we really gave 'em well.
[02:06.74]Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin',
[02:08.43]there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
[02:10.49]We fired once more and they began a running,
[02:10.93]on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[02:11.80]Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
[02:14.87]and they ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go.
[02:16.81]They ran so fast that the houndscouldn't catch 'em,
[02:19.30]all down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[02:22.17]
[02:28.16]Well, we fired our muskets so the barrels melted down,
[02:30.65]then grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
[02:33.66]Well, we stuffed his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind,
[02:39.54]so when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.
[02:41.72]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. 4x
