《The Battle of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] The Battle of New Orleans - Jimmie Driftwood

[00:00:02] Well in 1814 we took a little trip

[00:00:05] Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip

[00:00:08] We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

[00:00:11] And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

[00:00:13] We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin

[00:00:15] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:00:18] We fired once more and they began to runnin' on

[00:00:21] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:00:25] Well I seed Mars Jackson come a-walkin' down the street

[00:00:28] And a-talkin' to a pirate by the name of Jean Lafitte

[00:00:31] He gave Jean a drink that he brung from Tennessee

[00:00:33] And the pirate said he'd help us

[00:00:35] Drive the British to the sea

[00:00:37] Well the French told Andrew

[00:00:38] You had better run

[00:00:39] For packenham's acomin' with a bullet in his gun

[00:00:42] Old hickory said he didn't give a d**n

[00:00:45] He's a-gonna whup the britches off of Colonel Packenham

[00:00:47] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:00:49] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:00:52] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:00:55] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:01:06] Well we looked down the river and we seed the British come

[00:01:10] And there must have been a hundred

[00:01:11] Of them beating on the drum

[00:01:13] They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring

[00:01:15] While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

[00:01:19] Old hickory said we could take e'm by surprise

[00:01:21] If we didn't fire a musket till

[00:01:23] We looked e'm in the eyes

[00:01:24] We held our fire till we seed their face well

[00:01:27] Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave e'm well

[00:01:29] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:01:31] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:01:35] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:01:37] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:01:41] Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

[00:01:44] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:01:48] They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch e'm

[00:01:50] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:01:54] Well we fired our cannons till the barrels melted down

[00:01:57] So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

[00:02:00] We filled his head with minie balls and powdered his behind

[00:02:03] And when we touched the powder off the 'gator lost his mind

[00:02:06] They lost their pants and their pretty shiny coats

[00:02:09] And their tails was all a-showin' like a bunch of billy goats

[00:02:12] They ran down the river with their tongues a-hanging out

[00:02:14] And they said they got a lickin' which there wasn't any doubt

[00:02:17] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:02:19] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:02:23] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:02:26] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:02:29] Well we marched back to town in our dirty ragged pants

[00:02:33] And we danced all night with the pretty girls from France

[00:02:36] We couldn't understand 'em but they had the sweetest charms

[00:02:39] And we understood 'em better when we got 'em in our arms

[00:02:42] Well the guide who brung the British from the sea

[00:02:44] Come a-limping into camp just as sick as he could be

[00:02:48] He said the dying words of Colonel Packenham

[00:02:50] Was you better quit your foolin' with your cousin Uncle Sam

[00:02:53] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:02:55] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:02:58] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:03:00] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:03:04] Well we'll March back home but we'll never be content

[00:03:07] Till we make old hick'ry the people's president

[00:03:11] And every time we think about the bacon and the beans

[00:03:13] We'll think about the fun we had way down in New Orleans

[00:03:15] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:03:18] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:03:21] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:03:24] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:03:27] Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

[00:03:30] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:03:34] They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch 'em

[00:03:36] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:03:39] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:03:41] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:03:44] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:03:47] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
