《Battle of New Orleans》歌词

[00:00:00] Battle of New Orleans - Jimmy Driftwood

[00:00:02] Well in 18 and 14 we took a little trip

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

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

[00:00:10] And we met the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

[00:00:12] 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

[00:00:17] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:00:20] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:00:24] Well I seed Mars Jackson come a-walkin' down the street

[00:00:27] And a-talkin' to a pirate by the name of Jean Lafitte

[00:00:30] He gave Jean a drink that he brung from Tennessee

[00:00:32] And the pirate said he'd help us drive the British to the sea

[00:00:36] Ell the French told Andrew "You had better run

[00:00:38] For Packenham's a comin' with a bullet in his gun"

[00:00:41] Old Hickory said he didn't give a damn

[00:00:44] He's a-gonna whup the britches off of Colonel Packenham

[00:00:46] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:00:48] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:00:51] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:00:54] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:01:05] Well we looked down the river and we seed the British come

[00:01:09] And there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum

[00:01:12] They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring

[00:01:14] While we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

[00:01:18] Old Hickory said we could take'em by surprise

[00:01:20] If we didn't fire a musket till we looked'em in the eyes

[00:01:23] We held our fire till we seed their face well

[00:01:25] Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave'em well

[00:01:28] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:01:30] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:01:34] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:01:36] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:01:40] Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

[00:01:43] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:01:47] They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch'em

[00:01:49] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:01:53] Well we fired our cannons till the barrels melted down

[00:01:56] So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

[00:01:59] We filled his head with minie balls and powdered his behind

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

[00:02:05] They lost their pants and their pretty shiny coats

[00:02:07] And their tails was all a-showin' like a bunch of billy goats

[00:02:11] They ran down the river with their tongues a-hanging out

[00:02:13] And they said they got a lickin' which there wasn't any doubt

[00:02:16] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:02:18] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:02:22] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:02:24] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:02:28] Well we marched back to town in our dirty ragged pants

[00:02:31] And we danced all night with the pretty girls from France

[00:02:35] We couldn't understand'em but they had the sweetest charms

[00:02:37] And we understood'em better when we got'em in our arms

[00:02:41] Well the guide who brung the British from the sea

[00:02:43] Come a-limping into camp just as sick as he could be

[00:02:47] He said the dying words of Colonel Packenham

[00:02:49] Was "You better quit your foolin' with your cousin Uncle Sam"

[00:02:52] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:02:54] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:02:57] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:02:59] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

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

[00:03:06] Till we make Old Hick'ry the people's president

[00:03:09] And every time we think about the bacon and the beans

[00:03:12] We'll think about the fun we had way down in New Orleans

[00:03:14] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:03:16] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:03:20] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:03:22] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:03:26] Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

[00:03:29] And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

[00:03:33] They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch'em

[00:03:35] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[00:03:38] We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

[00:03:40] There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

[00:03:43] We fired once more and they began a running

[00:03:45] Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
