The Battle of New Orleans Lyrics by Coyote Run

Coyote Run Pleads the Fifth

2006

[Intro]
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Verse 1]
1814 took a little trip
'long with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
Took a little bacon and we took a little beans
Fought the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Chorus]
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
Wasn't as many as there was a while ago
Fired once more and they began a-runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
Ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Verse 2]
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we saw 'em in the eye
Held our fire 'til we saw the pieces well
When we opened up our guns we really gave 'em hell
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Chorus]
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
Wasn't as many as there was a while ago
Fired once more and they began a-runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
Ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Verse 3]
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
Then we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round
Filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
When we opened up our guns, the gator lost his mind
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Chorus]
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
Wasn't as many as there was a while ago
Fired once more and they began a-runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
Ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Bridge]
Run!
He makes the company jump when he plays reveille
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
[Chorus]
Well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
Wasn't as many as there was a while ago
Fired once more and they began a-runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Well, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
Ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Run, bloody British, run, run, run
Run, bloody British, run, run
Do that old coyote run
