Lyrics to Johnny Horton's "The Battle of New Orleans"-- Part 2

Again, please no singing along as you read them.

REFRAIN

"Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets
'Till we looked 'em in the eye
We held our fire
Till we seed their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
And really gave 'em....Well....

REFRAIN 2

"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 them
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.


"We fired our cannons 'till the barrels melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind.

Refrains.

Think I'll have to Go Play This Song and Really Sing Along With It.  --Brock-Perry
