“We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down,
So we grabbed an alligator an' we fought another round.”

Jimmy Driftwood The Battle of New Orleans

So we grabbed an alligator an' we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls an' powdered his behind,
An' when they touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.
