[00:00.00]The Battle of New Orleans - Buck Owens/Jimmy Driftwood
[00:10.13]Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
[00:12.84]And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
[00:15.25]They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[00:17.72]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:21.91]In 1814 we took a little trip
[00:24.48]Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississippi
[00:26.81]We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
[00:29.21]And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
[00:31.67]We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
[00:34.07]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
[00:36.57]We fired once more and they began to running
[00:38.95]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:53.35]We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
[00:55.74]And there musta' been a hundred of 'em beating on the drum
[00:58.04]They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
[01:00.39]We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
[01:02.75]We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
[01:05.31]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
[01:07.70]We fired once more and they began to running
[01:09.92]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:24.36]We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
[01:26.71]So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
[01:29.05]We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind
[01:31.57]And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
[01:33.87]We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
[01:36.37]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
[01:38.79]We fired once more and they began to running
[01:41.20]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[01:45.44]Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
[01:47.57]And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
[01:50.45]They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[01:52.66]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
