Текст песни Хтось - Американський марш

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 glimpse behind the scenes
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
We all drank stone blind
Johnny fill up the bowl.

Our Ring went up with baggage and rope
For bales, for bales
Upon the Blackhawk with baggage and rope
For bales, says I
Up Red River with baggage and rope
Looking to make a ton of soap
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
Taylor and Smith with ragged ranks
Burned up the cotton and whipped ole Banks
And we all drank stone blind
Johnny fill up the bowl.

Our Ring came back and cursed and swore
For bales, for bales
Our Ring came back and cursed and swore
For bales, says I
Our Ring came back and cursed and swore
We got no cotton at Grand Ecore
And we all drank stone blind
Johnny fill up the bowl.

Now let us all give praise and thanks
For bales, for bales
Now let us all give praise and thanks
For bales, says I
Let us all give praise and thanks
For the victory won by General Banks
And we all drink stone blind
Johnny fill up the bowl.
