The Battle Of New Orleans - Recorded by Johnny Horton, written by Jimmie Driftwood
[Intro]
E B
E A B E
[1st Verse]
E A
In 1814 we took a little trip
B7 E
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississip’
E A
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
B7 E
And we caught the bloody British in a town near New Orleans.
[Chorus]
E
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
B7 E
There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
B7 E
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[2nd Verse]
E A
We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
(Hut-two three-four)
B7 E
And there musta been a hund'erd of 'em beatin' on the drum
(Hut-two three-four)
E A
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
(Hut-two three-four)
B7 E
We stood beside our cotton fields and didn't say a thing.
(Hut-two three-four)
(Repeat Chorus)
[3rd Verse]
E A
Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by su'prise
(Hup-two three-four)
B7 E
If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes
(Hup-two three-four)
E A
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well
(Hup-two three-four)
B7 E
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... Well -
(Repeat Chorus)
[Bridge]
E
Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
(hup-two-three-four, hup-two-three-four)
B7 E
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
(hup-two-three-four, hup-two-three-four)
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
(hup-two-three-four, hup-two-three-four)
B7 E
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
(hup-two-three-four, hup-two-three-four)
[4th Verse]
E A
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
B7 E
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
E A
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
B7 E
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.
(Repeat Chorus)
[Repeat Bridge]
(Hup-two three-four)(Sound off three-four)
(Hup-two three-four)(Sound off three-four) (FADE)
