Johnny Cash – The Battle Of New Orleans (Guitar)

A          D
In 1814 we took a little trip

  E                              A
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississippi'

                              D
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

       E                              A
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans

A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

                              E          A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

                            E       A
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

A
Well We looked down the river and we see'd the British come

                                             E      A
And there must been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum 

                              D
Stepped so high and they made their bugles ring

                                            E     A
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing 

A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

                                E          A
There were not as many as there was a while ago

                            E       A
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles

                                        E               A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

                                 D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico 

A
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down 

                                         E       A
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

                                        D
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind 

                                               E        A
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind

A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

                              E           A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles

                                        E               A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

                                 D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico 

A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

                              E           A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago

                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles

                                        E               A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

                                 D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
