Graham) Subject: BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS Recorded by Johnny Horton Written by Jimmy Driftwood CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/PLAY: G [G] In 1814 we [C] took a little trip A-[D7] long with Col. Jackson down the [G] mighty mississip' We took a little bacon and we [C] took a little beans And we [D7] Caught the bloody British in a [G] town in New Orleans. CHORUS We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' There wasn't as many as there [D7] was a while a-[G] go We fired once more and they began to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the [D7] Gulf of Mexi-[G] co. We looked down the river and we see'd the British come And there musta been a hund'erd of 'em beatin' on the drum They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. CHORUS Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by su'prise If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes We held our fire till we see'd their faces well Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... Well - REPEAT 1ST CHORUS 2ND CHORUS Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a [D7] rabbit couldn't [G] go They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the [D7] Gulf of Mexi-[G] co. We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind. REPEAT 1ST CHORUS REPEAT 2ND CHORUSA ======================================================== Battle of new orleans, de Johnny horton ========================================================
