Lyrics The Battle Of New Orleans - Johnny Cash
In
1814
we
took
a
little
trip
Along
with
Cournel
Jackson
down
the
mighty
Mississip
We
took
a
little
bacon
and
we
took
a
little
beans
We
fought
the
bloody
British
in
the
town
of
New
Orleans
We
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a'comin
Wouldn't
nigh
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
Well
we
looked
down
the
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
began
to
sing
We
stood
beside
our
cotton
bales
and
didn't
say
a
thing
We
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a'comin
But
there
wasn't
nigh
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
Yeah,
they
ran
through
the
briars
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
Down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Well
we
fired
our
cannon
'til
the
barrel
melted
down
And
we
grabbed
an
alligator
and
we
fought
another
round
We
filled
his
head
with
cannon
ball
and
powdered
his
behind
And
when
we
touched
the
powder
off,
the
gator
lost
his
mind
We
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a'comin
Wouldn't
nigh
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
Yeah,
they
ran
through
the
briars
and
they
ran
through
the
brambles
And
they
ran
through
the
bushes
where
a
rabbit
couldn't
go
Oh
Papapa,
papapa,
papapa
on
Down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Opa,
opa,
give
them
line
aboard
Here
comes
Cournel
Jackson
Yea,
we
fired
our
guns
and
the
British
kept
a'comin
Wasn't
nigh
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
He-ey,
they
ran
through
the
briars
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
Down
the
Mississippi
to
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
Hahaha
You
can't
catch
me
Can't
catch
me,
there
redcoat
