[00:00.76]Johnny Horton The Battle Of New Orleans
[00:02.39]
[00:09.75]In 1814 we took a little trip
[00:12.58]Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
[00:15.32]We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
[00:18.01]And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
[00:20.81]We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
[00:23.37]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
[00:26.25]We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
[00:28.75]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:31.20]
[00:34.49]We looked down a river
[00:35.29]Hut-two
[00:35.48]And we see'd the British come
[00:36.79]Three-four
[00:36.97]And there must have been a hundred of'em
[00:38.72]Hut-two
[00:38.91]Beatin' on the drums
[00:39.84]Three-four
[00:40.09]They stepped so high
[00:41.11]Hut-two
[00:41.29]And they made their bugles ring
[00:42.42]Three-four
[00:42.61]We stood by our cotton bales
[00:43.73](Hut-two)
[00:43.98]And didn't say a thing
[00:45.50]We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
[00:47.50]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
[00:50.62]We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
[00:53.05]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:55.48]
[00:58.60]Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
[01:00.73]One-hut  two-three-four
[01:00.25]If we didn't fire our muskets
[01:02.57]One-hut  two-three-four
[01:02.94]'Till we looked 'em in the eye
[01:04.37]One-hut  two-three-four
[01:04.69]We held our fire
[01:05.56]Hut  two-three-four
[01:05.93]'Till we see'd their faces well
[01:07.06]Then we opened up our squirrel guns
[01:08.30]And really gave 'em - well we
[01:09.62]
[01:10.49]Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
[01:13.11]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
[01:15.73]We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
[01:17.67]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:20.79]
[01:21.35]Yeah  they ran through the briars
[01:24.65]One-hup-two
[01:24.84]And they ran through the brambles
[01:25.84]Hup-two-three-four
[01:26.03]And they ran through the bushes
[01:27.34]Hup-two
[01:27.59]Where the rabbit couldn't go
[01:28.65]Hup-two-three-four
[01:28.90]They ran so fast
[01:29.96]Hup-two
[01:30.39]That the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[01:31.77]One-two-three-four
[01:31.95]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:33.48]One-two  hup-two-three-four
[01:34.42]
[01:39.11]We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
[01:42.61]So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
[01:45.29]We filled his head with cannon balls  and powdered his behind
[01:47.73]And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
[01:50.91]We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
[01:53.35]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
[01:56.40]We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
[01:58.77]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[02:01.20]
[02:04.27]Yeah  they ran through the briars
[02:05.57]Hup-one-two
[02:05.70]And they ran through the brambles
[02:06.76]One-two-three-four
[02:06.95]And they ran through the bushes
[02:08.07]Hup-two
[02:08.26]Where the rabbit couldn't go
[02:09.32]Hup-two-three-four
[02:09.69]They ran so fast
[02:10.81]Hup-two
[02:11.00]That the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[02:12.25]One-two-three-four
[02:12.44]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[02:14.81]
