Got this song running through my head at 1:20 a.m.
"In 1814 we took a little trip, along the something to the mighty mississip.
We took a little something and we took a little something......"
Can't remember the "somethings" and can't remember the rest...my dad used to play this song a lot.
Doug, Mark, anyone........know the rest of it?

Johnny Horton - The Battle Of New Orleans
In 1814 we took a little trip
along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
and we cought the bloody British in a town in New Orleans.
*Chorus*
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There was not as many as there was a while ago.
We fired once more and they began to runnin
a down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
We looked down the river and we seen the british come
and there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin on the drum.
They stepped so highand they made their pupils ring
but we stood behind our country till we couln't see a thing.
Chorus
Ol' Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
if we didn't fire our muskets 'till we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire 'till we seen thier faces well
then we opened up the squirrel guns and really gave em....
well we
Chorus
Well 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.
We fired our cannon 'till the barrel melted down
so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannonballs, powered his behind
and when we took the powder off the gator lost his mind.
Chorus
Yeah they ran through the brairs 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
A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
