We took a little bacon and a little beans Hadn't listened to that song since we had a record player in our house in the late 1970's. As soon as I saw your thread title in GD, I started singing the line you posted here to myself. Almost 40 years since I've heard that song. |

Quoted: We were in New Orleans a couple of years ago. We took a river boat down to where the battle took place. I could just imagine the cannons firing and the smoke roiling across the battleground. My wife is from Chalmette. As many times as I've been there, we've never gone to the battlefield. |

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 high and they made the bugles ring. We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing A song from my childhood in mississippi delta, makes me think of my granny, rest her soul. I had forgotten about it. Well done OP. God bless ol hickory and god bless our cotton fields. |

Andrew Jackson was a Nazi. If there was any justice in this world his likeness would be removed from the $20 bill, to be replaced with Chief Sitting Bull. Wtf... lol Well you managed to get all 3 centuries into that one sentience of derp. Whats the deal are you half british and half indian? I guess in your mind Davy Crokett and Sam Huston are his SS Gestapo leaders.

The very first article on my research was on an incident that happened during the Battle of New Orleans.
http://www.snipercountry.com/Articles/LoneMarksmanRevisited.asp The City of Greenville in Kentucky has a statute in his honor. |

We would have most likely lost Louisiana if it weren't for John Lafitte and his cannons,men, and powder supplies.
Jackson's men were almost out of powder and shot until they agreed to give Lafitte and his men amnesty and citizenship in exchange for his help. French pirates were the real heroes of that battle. |
