jimmy driftwood - battle of new orleans كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
well, in 18 and 14 we took a little trip
along with colonel jackson down the mighty mississip’
we took a little bacon, and we took a little beans
and we met the bl__dy british near the town of new orleans

[chorus]
we fired our guns, and the british kept a_comin’
but there wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
we fired once more, and they began runnin’
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico
[verse 2]
well, i seed mars jackson a_walklin’ down the street
and a_talkin’ to a pirate by the name of jean lafitte
hе gave jean a drink that he brung from tеnnessee
and the pirate said he’d help us drive the british in the sea

[verse 3]
the french told andrew, “you’d better run
for pakenham’s a_comin’ with a bullet in his gun”
old hickory said he didn’t give a d_mn
he’s a_gonna whip the britches off of colonel pakenham

[chorus]
we fired our guns and the british kept a_comin’
but there wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
we fired once more, and they began runnin’
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico

[instrumental break]

[verse 4]
well, we looked down the river, and we seed the british come
and there must have been a hundred of ’em beatin’ on the drum
they stepped so high, and they made their bugles ring
while we stood beside our cotton bales, didn’t say a thing
[verse 5]
old hickory said we’d take ’em by surprise
if we didn’t fire a musket ’til we looked ’em in the eyes
we held our fire ’til we seed their faces well
then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave ’em h_ll

[post chorus]
well, they ran through the briars, and they ran through the brambles
and they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn’t go
they ran so fast that the hounds couldn’t catch ’em
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico

[verse 6]
well, we fired our cannon ’til the barrel melted down
so, we grabbed a alligator, and we fought another round
we filled his head with minié b_lls and powdered his behind
and when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind

[verse 7]
they lost their pants and their pretty shiny coats
and their tails were all a_showin’ like a bunch of billy goats
they run down the river with their tongues hangin’ out
and they said they got a l!ckin’ which there wasn’t any doubt
[chorus]
we fired our guns and the british kept a_comin’
but there wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
we fired once more, and they began runnin’
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico

[verse 8]
well, we marched back to town in our dirty ragged pants
and we danced all night with them pretty girls from france
we couldn’t understand ’em but they had the sweetest charms
and we understood ’em better when we got ‘tm in our arms

[verse 9]
the guide who brung the british from the sea
came a_limpin’ into camp just as sick as he could be
he said the dyin’ words of the colonel pakenham
was, “you better quit you’re foolin’ with your cousin, uncle sam”

[chorus]
fred our guns, and the british kept a_comin’
but there wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
we fired once more, and they began runnin’
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico

[verse 10]
well, we’ll march back home but we’ll never be content
’til we make old hickory the people’s president
and every time we think about the bacon and the beans
we’ll think about the fun we had way down in new orleans
