The Battle Of New Orleans (special version cut for England)

In 1814, we took a little trip

Along with Colonel Packingham up to Mississipp'

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

And we met the Bloomy Rebels in a town in New Orleans

We fired our guns and the Rebels kept on comin'

There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

Went down the Mississippi through the Gulf of Mexico

We looked up the river and we see the Rebels come (one, two, three, four)

While we had at least a hundred of us beatin' on the drum (one, two, three, four)

We stepped so high and we made our bugles ring (one, two, three, four)

While they stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thing (one, two, three, four)

We fired our guns and the Rebels kept on comin'

There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

Went down the Mississippi through the Gulf of Mexico

Old Hickory said they can take us by surprise (one, two, three, four)

If they didn't fire their musket 'til they looked us in the eyes (one, two, three, four)

They held their fire 'til they've seen their our faces well (one, two, three, four)

Then they opened up the squirrel guns and really gave us well (one two three four)

We fired our guns and the Rebels kept on comin'

There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

Went down the Mississippi through the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles (one, two, one, two, three, four)

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go (one, two, one, two, three, four)

Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em (one, two, one, two, three, four)

Went down the Mississippi through the Gulf of Mexico (one two, one, two, three, four)

They fired their cannon 'til the barrel melted down

So they grabbed an alligator and they fought another round

They filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind

When they took the powder off the gator lost his mind

We fired our guns and the Rebels kept on comin'

There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
