In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.

The Battle of New Orleans (1936)

Ole Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise,
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eyes.

The Battle of New Orleans (1936)

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down,
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.
