Battle Of New Orleans

   G                    C
In Eighteen-Fourteen we took a 
little trip
 D                                 
Along with Colonel Jackson down the
 G
 mighty Mississip'
                              C
We took a little bacon and we took a
 little beans
       D                           
And we caught the bloody British in
     G
 the town of New Orleans


Chorus 1
   G
We fired our guns and the British 
kept a-comin'
But, there wasn't nigh as many as 
            D      G
there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to
 runnin'
                                D  
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf
        G
 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 drums
They stepped so high and they made 
their bugles ring
We stood beside our cotton bales and
 didn't say a thing

Repeat Chorus 1

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 till we seen their 
faces well
Then, we opened our squirrel guns 
and really gave 'em....well we,

Chorus 2

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
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf 
Of Mexico

We fired our cannon 'til 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 set the powder off, the 
'gator lost his mind

Repeat Chorus 1

Repeat Chorus 2
