I don't know if it worked for the students, but my brothers and I know this song, "Sink the Bismarck", "Comanche The Brave Horse", "Jim Bridger" and "Johnny Freedom" by heart. Dee, I found the album on CD and gave it to my youngest brother a couple of Christmases ago. Good luck!

In 1814 we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in a town near New Orleans. We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they begin to runnin' On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
