The song describes the Battle of New Orleans from the perspective of an American soldier; the song tells the tale of the battle with a light tone and provides a rather comical version of what actually happened at the battle. It has been recorded by many artists, but the singer most often associated with this song is Johnny Horton. • LYRICS: • In 1814 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 caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans • [CHORUS] We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' • There wasn't as many as there was a while ago • We fired once more and they began to runnin' • On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico • We looked down a river and we see'd 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 • We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing • [CHORUS] • Old Hickory said, We could take 'em by surprise • If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye • We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well • Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em • [CHORUS] • Yeah, they ran through the briers 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 • We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down • So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round • We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind • And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind • [CHORUS] • Yeah, they ran through the briers 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 • [CHORUS] • • Disclaimer: Strictly an apolitical channel.
