Great job!!!!
I remember listening to the original as a kid in 1960 when we drove from Buffalo in our move to Miami.
"we filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind, and when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind" !!!!
Wellllll, we fired our guns and the British kep a comin, there wasn't quite as many as there was awhile ago,
we fired once more and they began a'runnin,
on down the Missisippi to the Gulf of Mexico......
Haven't heard it in a coons age!
Still love that song...made the long drive more bearable as we cruised the Blueridge Parkway! Along with Doris Day, Nat and Frankie!
If you ever get the chance to read a detailed account of that battle, do so. It was amazing. About 3,500 US troops (mostly state militias) against over 12,000 seasoned British regulars. There were some amazing events and issues that turned what should have been an easy British victory into a route of the British by the American forces. In about 30 minutes of the initial heavy fighting, 19 MAmericans were killed and well over 3,000 British. That's when they broke and ran to get away from the slaughter.
