The Battle of New Orleans歌詞

Well, this here's the story about the Battle of New Orleans,
which was fit between the Yankees of course and them there English people,
in which the British came off rather ignominiously.
Well, in 1814, we took a little trip,
along the Colonel Packenham down the mighty Mississipp.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
and we fought the bloomin' British in the town of New Orleans
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin',
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began a running,
on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come,
there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring,
well, we stood beside our cotton bales and never said a thing.
Well, we looked down the river till we see the British come,
and there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum.
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring,
While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.
Well, Packenham said we could take 'em by surprise,
if we didn't fire a musket till we looked `em in the eyes.
Well, we stood quite still till we see their face well,
then we opened up our muskets and we really gave 'em well.
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a comin',
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began a running,
on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
and they ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the houndscouldn't catch 'em,
all down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Well, we fired our muskets so the barrels melted down,
then grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
Well, we stuffed his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind,
so when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.
