lonnie donegan - the battle of new orleans كلمات الأغنية

(spoken: ) 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.

+ chorus
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 hounds couldn’t catch ‘em, all down the mississippi
to the gulf of mexico.
+ chorus
6. 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 b-lls and
powdered his behind, so when we touched the powder off,
the ‘gator lost his mind.
+ chorus
down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico. (4x)
