“In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.”
Jimmy Driftwood The Battle of New Orleans
"The Battle of New Orleans" (1936)
Context: p>In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon an' we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British at the town of New Orleans. We fired our guns an' the British kept a'comin'.
There wasn't nigh as many as there was awhile ago.
We fired once more an' they begin to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.</p
