The Battle Of New Orleans chords Johnny Horton (Jimmy Driftwood) Capo I G D G C D G
In G1814 we Ctook a little trip AD7long with Col. Jackson down the Gmighty mississip'd We took a little bacon and we Ctook a little beans And we D7caught the bloody British in a Gtown in New Orleans.
We Gfired our guns and the British kept a comin' There wasn't as many as there D7was a while aGgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the D7Gulf of MexiGco. We Glooked down the river and we Csee'd the British come And there D7musta been a hund'erd of 'em Gbeatin' on the drum They stepped so high and they Cmade their bugles ring We D7stood beside our cotton bales and Gdidn't say a thing.
We Gfired our guns and the British kept a comin' There wasn't as many as there D7was a while aGgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the D7Gulf of MexiGco. Old GHick'ry said we could Ctake 'em by su'prise If we D7didn't fire our musket till we Glooked 'em in the eyes We held our fire till we Csee'd their faces well Then we D7opened up with squirrel guns and Greally gave 'em ... Well -
We Gfired our guns and the British kept a comin' There wasn't as many as there D7was a while aGgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the D7Gulf of MexiGco. Yeah! they Gran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a D7rabbit couldn't Ggo
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the D7Gulf of MexiGco. We Gfired our cannon till the Cbarrel melted down So we D7grabbed an alligator and we Gfought another round We filled his head with cannonballs and Cpowdered his behind And D7when we touched the powder off, the G'gator lost his mind.
We Gfired our guns and the British kept a comin' There wasn't as many as there D7was a while aGgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the D7Gulf of MexiGco. Yeah! they Gran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a D7rabbit couldn't Ggo
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the D7Gulf of MexiGco.
