Luyện nghe bài hát The Battle of New Orleans

Well, in eighteen-fourteen we took a little
with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a beans
And we caught the British at the town of New Orleans.

We fired our guns and the British a-comin'
wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired more and they all began a-runnin'
the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Well we eye-balled the river and we see the Limeys
Musta been a of 'em beatin' on a drum
And then they stepped so high and they made the ring
We hid behind our cotton and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a ago
We once more and they all began a-runnin'
the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Now, Old says we can take 'em by surprise
If we don't shoot our wads 'til we look 'em in the
So we held off our fire 'til we see them real
Then we opened up our squirrel and really gave 'em hell

We our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they all a-runnin'
the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[The (the singers) sings this verse.]
Well, they ran the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where the couldn't go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't 'em
Down the to the Gulf of Mexico.

to C.W.]
Well, we fired our cannon 'til the melted down
So we an alligator and we turned his tail around
We stuffed his head cannon balls and powdered his behind
And when we lit the fuse that old gator blew his

We fired our and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired more and they all began a-runnin'
the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[The chorus (the singers) sings verse.]
Well, they ran through the briars and ran through the brambles
And ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't 'em
Down the Mississippi to the of Mexico.

[Okay, the over.]
Hup, hip, trip, four.
You know, you old boys be marchin' right smart, onced* you learn to count to four.
