Lyrics Battle of New Orleans - Original Recording Remastered - Lonnie Donegan
(Spoken)Well,
this
here's
the
story
about
the
Battle
of
New
Orleans,
which
was
fit
between
the
Yankees
of
course
and
them
there
English
people,
in
which
the
British
came
off
rather
ignominiously.
Means
they
never
done
no
good,
no
how,
alright,
now
shut
up.
Right.
Well
in
1814,
we
took
a
little
trip,
along
with
Colonel
Packenham
down
the
mighty
Mississipp'.
We
took
a
little
bacon
and
we
took
a
little
beans,
and
we
fought
the
bloomin
British
in
the
town
of
New
Orleans
Well,
we
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a
comin',
there
wasn't
nigh
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago.
We
fired
once
more
and
they
began
a
running,
on
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexicoooo,
yeh
Weeell,
we
looked
down
the
river
till
we
see
the
British
come,
there
must
have
been
a
hundred
of
'em
beatin'
on
the
drum.
They
stepped
so
high
and
they
made
the
bugles
ring,
well,
we
stood
beside
our
cotton
bales
and
never
sayed
a
thing.
Well,
we
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a
comin',
and
there
wasn't
nigh
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago.
We
fired
once
more
and
they
began
a
running,
on
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.

Well,
Packenham
said
we
could
take
em
by
surprise,
if
we
didn't
fire
a
musket
till
we
looked
'em
in
the
eyes.
Well,
we
stood
quite
still
till
we
see
their
faces
well,
then
we
opened
up
our
muskets
and
we
really
gave
em...
Well,
we
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a
comin',
and
there
wasn't
nigh
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago.
and
we
fired
once
more
and
they
began
a
running,
on
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.
Weeeeell,
they
rrraan
through
the
briars
and
they
ran
through
the
brambles,
and
they
ran
through
the
bushes
where
the
rabbits
couldn't
go.
They
ran
so
fast
that
the
hounds
couldn't
catch
em,
all
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico.
Well,
we
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a
comin',
there
wasn't
nigh
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago.
We
fired
once
more
and
they
began
a
running,
on
down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexicooooh
ah
ha
tiddly
dee
Well,
we
fired
our
muskets
so
the
barrels
melted
down,
then
grabbed
an
alligator
and
we
fought
another
round.
Well,
we
stuffed
his
head
with
cannon
balls
and
powdered
his
behind,
so
when
we
touched
the
powder
off,
the
'gator
lost
his
mind.
Well,
we
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a
comin',
there
wasn't
nigh
as
many
as
there
was
a
while
ago.
We
fired

and
