We all went down to New Orleans, For bales, for bales; We all went down to New Orleans, For bales, says I; We all went down to New Orleans To get a peep behind the scenes. And we'll all drink stone blind. Johnny fill up the bowl!
We thought when we got in the \"Ring\", For bales, for bales; We thought when we got in the \"Ring\", For bales, says I; We thought when we got in the \"Ring\", Greenbacks would be a dead sure thing. And we'll all drink stone blind. Johnny fill up the bowl!
But Taylor and Smith with ragged ranks, For bales, for bales; But Taylor and Smith with ragged ranks, For bales, says I; But Taylor and Smith with ragged ranks, Burned up the cotton and whipped old Banks. And we'll all drink stone blind. Johnny fill up the bowl!
