Battle of New Orleans Right-Wing Style, PLEASE E-Mail them!
This appears in The American Thinker, Sept. 6. I am disgusted, broken-hearted, outraged. I've included only a portion of the lyrics. Visit the web site at your own peril to read the remainder of the lyrics.

The Battle of New Orleans


THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS
(after lyrics by Jimmy Driftwood, sung by Lonnie Donegan)

In August ’05 we took a little trip
Volunteers and Guardsmen down the mighty Mississip.
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody looters in the town of New Orleans.

We fired our guns and the looters kept a’comin.
There wasn’t nigh 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 coudn’t see no cops and we couldn’t see no mayor But we saw their badges lying where they threw ’em in the sewer We passed by Governor Blanco and the victims on the roofs We saw all the results of the politicians’ goofs

We fired our guns and the looters kept a’comin.
There wasn’t nigh 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.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

PLEASE E-MAIL THEM...if it makes any difference to you, they say abusive comments will be discarded.
