《The Battle of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] The Battle Of New Orleans - Johnny Horton

[00:00:09] In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip

[00:00:12] Along with colonel jackson

[00:00:13] Down the mighty mississipp'

[00:00:14] We took a little bacon and

[00:00:16] We took a little beans

[00:00:17] And we caught the bloody

[00:00:18] British in the town of new orleans

[00:00:20] We fired our guns and

[00:00:21] The british kept on comin'

[00:00:22] There wasn't neigh as many

[00:00:23] As there was a while ago

[00:00:25] We fired once more and

[00:00:26] They began to runnin'

[00:00:28] On down the mississippi

[00:00:29] To the gulf of mexico

[00:00:33] We looked down the river

[00:00:34] And we seen the british come

[00:00:35] And there must have been a hundred

[00:00:37] Of 'em beatin on the drum

[00:00:38] They stepped so high and

[00:00:40] They made their bugles ring

[00:00:41] We stood behind our cotton bales

[00:00:42] And didn't say a thing

[00:00:44] We fired our guns

[00:00:45] And the british kept on comin'

[00:00:46] There wasn't neigh as many as

[00:00:48] There was a while ago

[00:00:49] We fired once more

[00:00:50] And they began to runnin'

[00:00:52] On down the

[00:00:53] Mississippi to the gulf of mexico

[00:00:57] Ol' hickory said

[00:00:58] We could take 'em by surprise

[00:01:00] If we didn't fire our muskets 'til

[00:01:01] We looked 'em in the eyes

[00:01:03] We held our fire 'til we seen their faces well

[00:01:05] Then we opened up our squirrel guns

[00:01:06] And really gave em well

[00:01:08] We fired our guns

[00:01:10] And the british kept on comin'

[00:01:11] There wasn't neigh

[00:01:12] As many as there was a while ago

[00:01:14] We fired once more and they began to runnin'

[00:01:17] On down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico

[00:01:22] Yeah they ran through the briars

[00:01:23] And they ran through the brambles

[00:01:24] And they ran through the bushes

[00:01:26] Where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:01:28] They ran so fast that

[00:01:29] The hounds couldn't catch 'em

[00:01:30] Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico

[00:01:38] We fired our cannon 'til

[00:01:39] The barrel melted down

[00:01:40] Then we grabbed an alligator

[00:01:42] And we fought another round

[00:01:43] We filled his head with cannonballs

[00:01:45] And powered his behind

[00:01:46] And when we touched the powder off

[00:01:47] The 'gator lost his mind

[00:01:49] We fired our guns and the

[00:01:50] British kept on comin'

[00:01:51] There wasn't neigh as many as

[00:01:53] There was a while ago

[00:01:54] We fired once more

[00:01:55] And they began to runnin'

[00:01:57] On down the mississippi

[00:01:58] To the gulf of mexico

[00:02:02] They ran through the briars

[00:02:03] And they ran through the brambles

[00:02:05] And they ran through the bushes

[00:02:06] Where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:02:08] They ran so fast that

[00:02:09] The hounds couldn't catch 'em

[00:02:10] A down the mississippi

[00:02:11] To the gulf of mexico
