Oh I marched to the battle of New Orleans
At the end of the early British war
The young land started growing
The young blood started flowing

In a thousand different fights
I was there at the Little Big Horn
I heard many men lying I saw many more dying

Set off the mighty mushroom roar

Call it Peace or call it Treason,
Call it Love or call it Reason,
