The Battle of New Orleans——

Johnny Horton

In 1814 we took a little trip

在1814年，我们美军且行且战

Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip

安德鲁·杰克逊将军领导着我们，沿着绵长的密西西比河一路走下

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

我们吃了点培根和豆子充饥

And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

接着我们和英国佬在新奥尔良城打上了

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

我们开枪与其交战，没曾想这群英国佬倒是挺顽强，一直冲击

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.

然而我们还没打多久

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

我们就再次开火，把他们打得屁滚尿流、仓皇逃窜

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

把他们从密西西比河赶到墨西哥湾

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

我们从河上看去，英国佬又特么来了

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

当时肯定有个几百号英国佬敲击着战鼓

They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring

他们的步子是如此坚定，甚至还吹起了号子

We stood beside our cotton bales, didn't say a thing

我们站在棉包旁，一言不发

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

我们开枪与其交战，没曾想这群英国佬倒是挺顽强，一直冲击

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise

安德鲁·杰克逊将军说我们可以偷袭这群龟孙子一波

If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eye

但我们和他们打了个对脸时，我们用毛瑟枪对他们疯狂开枪

We held our fire till we seen their faces well

我们看见他们脸色不错时，便开枪射死他们

Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... well

我们举起了猎枪，准备给这群松鼠一个教训.....

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

把他们从密西西比河赶到墨西哥湾

Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

呵呵，他们吓得钻进了灌木丛和荆棘中躲了起来

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

接着从草窝里匆忙窜出，草窝小得简直比兔子窝还小

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

他们速度太快如同按了疾步，猎狗都望尘莫及

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

把他们从密西西比河赶到墨西哥湾

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down

我们发射加农炮，直到炮身热到融化

So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round

见到鳄鱼就开干，然后去收拾英国佬

We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind

把那些英国佬的头当炮弹打，给他全身涂满火药

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

我们把他的火药点燃，然后给鳄鱼一顿饕餮盛宴

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
