LYRICS:
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 caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
[CHORUS] We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down a river and we see'd the British come
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
[CHORUS]
Old Hickory said, "We could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye"
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em
[CHORUS]
Yeah, they ran through the briers 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
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind
[CHORUS]
Yeah, they ran through the briers 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
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[CHORUS]

I learned this song in 7th grade music class over 50 yrs ago . Surprisingly i still remember the 1st verse . lol
...
h-how old are you…sir?
Who else is watching in 1812?
Hello, I'm a Korean viewer.
I love traditional American songs because they are so cool and exciting!
But I'm not sure what it's about... The song itself is so good
its about the war in 1812 that the americans fought, and them discovering british in the southern town of new orleans and fighting them off. love korea and hope to visit someday
@@KashMonke It's about the War of 1812
@@Historical-Stuff youre right
대한민국-미국 혈맹 만세! Our country used to be the best country in the world in the 50's and 60's.
IDK if you wanted more info, but it's about the battle of New Orleans fought in 1814 in the war we refer to as the war of 1812 (southern Louisiana, where the Mississippi flows into Mexico).
This battle was fought after the peace treaty was signed with the British, but before the news had reached the soldiers.
This is when "Ol' Hickory" Andrew Jackson became famous as a war hero. He would later become president, and is why one of the main parties mascot is a donkey (in reference to the similarity of Jackson and jackass).
Texan here - HELL YEAH! Love our American past!! God bless our MIGHTY NATION, FOREVER!!
Hell yeah!! 🇺🇸 🦅
"There wasn't as many as there was a while ago..." What a great line.
Idk if this is better than the Johnny Horton version
me neither. but this slaps
@@tossedsaladman2184 this is a hell of a song.
It’s not
This is fun, but Horton had a way of spicing up the vocals, same as in Sink the Bismarck. This has very little emphasis on any one line.
@@hiimryan2388 not debating that. saying something else is better doesn't mean that the thing you're talking about is bad.
Finally! A rapper that doesn't mumble!
Johnnie Horton's version was one of my favs when I got a transistor radio......
I remember transistors
Can someone please explain to me what a transistor is?
PETA would have a field day with what they did to that alligator.
They would be like: why didn’t we think of doing that first.
Borders at its prime, aesthetic wise.
this is due to the acquisition of the Louisiana France
@@motorreor6 we know bro
@@motorreor6 noooo 😱😱
Would look better with Florida
its good because of no florida, texas, or west...@@newanthemhouse1297
Wtf did the alligator do to deserve that😭🙏
Ok kids we are going to New Orleans on a field trip:
Girls: oh wow that’s so cute
Boys:
At first whne I heard the piper I thought I misclicked and the song was dixie
You should do "The Fall of Charleston" by Tennessee Ernie Ford
yeah probably
“We stood behind our cotton bales and didn’t say a thing”
Kermit The Frog, 1815
Still trying to figure out if that flute bit is a separate song cause I'm PRETTY SURE I've heard it before, if anyone could tell me what its from it would be appreciated!
its dixie, and its part of the song cover itself
The flute bit in the middle? That's the British Grenadiers march.
@@kaiser3035 its probably the first few seconds of the video or that
@@ArchivumMusicum21 yeah, either or. We’ve got answers for whichever one he was curious about
@@kaiser3035 agreed
Yeehaw 🤠
proud to be american
I'm not anymore. Thanks to the all the woke and anti y t nonsense I'm ashamed. Also because of the military industrial complex and the things the government keeps doing. If we went back to being a real America with traditions and obligations I'd be proud.
@@alexfriedman2152tf is wokeness I dunno but if they’re born American then their American
@@Artemus-ef6fz Wokeness is an agenda pushed by the elites who control the media and worship the Dev il. The more you know.
@@alexfriedman2152 the government doesn't define Americans. We will have our country back.
@@Artemus-ef6fz Wokeness is Cultural marxis m, which is pushed by the elite bankers and devil worshippers. They're *** not supposed to be American just because they are born here and there are about 20 million "Americans" who were born here when their parents are illegals. A country is it's people.
Dissing the British in a song during war is the most American thing
the American soldier is wholesome, while killing a bunch of British men
Had it not been for the Indian Removal Act of 1830 and the tragic result of the Trail of Tears, Andrew Jackson would have been otherwise been a great President and a great American hero! But, instead because of what Andrew Jackson did to the Cherokee Native Americans and the other southeastern Native American tribes, Andrew Jackson is unfortunately one of America's greatest villains! Ironically, there were Cherokee riflemen on the side Colonel Jackson who fought against the British at the Battle of New Orleans.
actually congress passed this by one vote, it was actually a heated debate in congress.
@@poli_zgaming3616 Thank you for your reply and pointing this out to me.
It was a different time back then. Liberals and wokies don't really realize that.
LONG LIVE THE UNION !!!
correction: it's "There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago"
Run Limeys Run!🇺🇲💪
Johnny Horton's version is better imo
well wouldnt hurt to hear another cover
@@ArchivumMusicum21 True
Where is the little tune for beginning form
It's a fife and drum playing the quintessentially southern tune "dixie's land"
@@jacksonguillory8114 Thanks

When war changed from two armies, meeting each other to gorilla war fare
Wrong British flag at 0:45. That flag was only used between May 1, 1707 and December 31, 1800 for the Kingdom of Great Britain. On January 1, 1801 the Kingdom of Ireland was unified with that of Great Britain as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. and the Cross of St. Patrick was added to the previous British flag making the current flag. The Battle of New Orleans was fought 14 years and 1 week later on January 8, 1815.
the map he is showing is pre-revolution america,when it was still part of the british empire
The sad thing is the war was over, but the armies didn't get news yet, so this battle was unnecessary bloodshed.
the question is how can he find the original recording?
Jed Clarmpit brought me
Will u upload dixies land?
0:45 British Grenadiers?
Yes
Although it was a tie, both sides, technically won they achieved their goals, the British protected Canada at the time known as British North America, and we protected ourselves from the kidnapping our sailors to send them off to fight in Napoleon and we were defending our right of neutrality and our capitalist trading ways
so your telling me Johnny Horton didn't make this?
No
0:43 it's great to hear the British grenadiers song inside this song, almost like a tribute to the enemy since we came from the UK originally.

If America kept all of Louisiana and added Florida, they would not have achieved their destiny, but they would have had the coolest borders.

if the south got invaded I would not be that surprised if they trained alligators to hunt down the orcs, not that they really would need to, in the US there are more guns than people and that aint even counting the military, admiral Yamamoto was quoted as saying "there would be a rifle behind every blade of grass" when asked about invading the US main, in the states there are large numbers of civilians who are better equipped than russian spetsnaz special forces, there are more MODERN guns in the US civilian market than the entire chinese military (the QBZ is a shitty AK clone NOT a modern rifle like emperor xi the pooh claims).
Sounds like the falklands song
The Falklands War Song is a parody of this.
Have you believed the gospel? The gospel is that Jesus died on the cross for your sins was buried and rose again the third day

Wrong war. You are thinking of the American civil war in I do believe the 1860's
L + you lost the war of 1812 + You lost to farmers in Nam
We really didn't lose, the war gave the new republic a sense of national belonging where as people before the war would say that they are a "massachussian" or a "Virginian" they now called themselves a american
@@hiimryan2388
Ehh that's true but with recent events it seems we are more divided then ever.
Buddy, both sides lost, not really gaining anything, if anything it was a stalemate, both learning from each other, and later down the line coming to respect each other.
@@bopsgaming3810
True, vietnam and american relations are pretty good now.
@@zmanthepanda Yeah, makes you wonder why we fought there in the first place.
