Johnny Cash "The Battle of New Orleans" Album: Johnny Cash "AMERICA" A 200-Year Salute in Story and Song (1972) Opening Dialogue Lyrics: "To the Shining Mountains" Yes went they through the Lehigh Valley to Lake Erie past Virginia And the land called out its challenge bring your men the match our mountains See the green Ohio Valley see the Cumberland the Wabash On the Tennessee they floated on great rafts to the Mississippi And the Cherokee and Shawnee and the Creek and the Ojibway And the Choctaw and Quapaw And all the tribes along the rivers knew ahead they they were coming That the white man was upon them They built their homes along the rivers built their churches brought their preachers Came upon the wide Missouri stopped before the shining mountains Many died from the beginning for the freedom of America Like that day down in New Orleans "The Battle of New Orleans" Lyrics: In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp' We took a little bacon and we took a little beans Fought the bloody British in the town of New Orleans We fired our guns and the British kept a comin' Wadn't night as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to runnin' Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Well we looked down the river and we seen the British come And there must've been a hubdred of 'em beatin' on the drum Stepped so high and they began to sing We stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thing We fired our guns... 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 'em Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Well we fired our cannon till the barrel melted down Then we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind And when we took the powder off the 'gator lost his mind We fired our guns... Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go Um pa pa pa um pa pa pa on down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico Whoopie whoopie get in line there boys We fired our guns... Yeah they ran through the briars... Ha ha you can't catch me can't catch me there redcoat
