Happy Battle of New Orleans Day!
1/8/1815
'Twas on the eighth of January,
Just at the dawn of day,
We spied those British officers,
All dress'd in bat'l array,
Old Jackson then gave orders,
"Each man to keep his post,
And form a line from right to left,
And let no time be lost.
"Battle of New Orleans," Songs of Ind, Irwin Silber, 1973
