The Battle Of New Orleans　（ニューオーリンズの戦い）　-----　Johnny Horton　　(1959)<br><br>
 

In 1814 we took a little trip<br>
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'<br>
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans<br>
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans<br><br>ew

1st CHORUS:<br>
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'<br>
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago<br>
We fired once more and they began to runnin'<br>
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico<br>

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come<br>
And there musta been a hund'erd of 'em beatin' on the drum<br>
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring<br>
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing<br><br>

REPEAT 1st CHORUS<br><br>

Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by su'prise<br>
If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes<br>
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well<br>
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... Well<br><br>

REPEAT 1ST CHORUS<br><br>

2nd CHORUS:<br>
Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles<br>
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go<br>
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em<br>
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico<br><br>

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down<br>
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round<br>
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind<br>
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind<br><br>

REPEAT 1ST CHORUS<br><br>

REPEAT 2ND CHORUS
