Battle Of New Orleans Lyrics
Complete Album Lyrics:
Our Man Down South
Well in eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we met up with the British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There wasn't night as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We seen Morse Jackson a walkin' down the street
And a talkin' to a pirate by the name of Jean Lafitte
He gave Jean a drink that he brought from Tennessee
And the pirate said he'd help us drive the British in the sea
The French said Andrew you'd better run
For Pakenham's a comin' with a bullet in his gun
Old Hickory said that we didn't give a damn
He was gonna whip the britches off of General Pakenham
We fired our guns...
