美國於1815年1月8日取得紐奧良戰爭 (Battle
of New Orleans) 的勝利
「我說要記得紐奧良,
那是傑克森讓他們知道北方人怎麼打仗,
也是擊敗他們獲勝的那一天,
於是我們聽到人們說
傑克森將軍萬歲。」
而「一月的第八天」 (The
Eighth of January) 這首歌,也成為1940年代大家在跳方塊舞時喜歡放的音樂之一。也許你的家人曾經聽過這首歌。你可以邀請他們一起來聽這首「一月的第八天」,然後一起高呼「喝啦!」
"Remember New Orleans I say,
Where Jackson show'd them Yankee play,
And beat them off and gain'd the day,
And then we heard the people say
Huzza! For Gen'ral Jackson."
The song "The Eighth of January" became a favorite tune for square dancing even into the 1940s. Perhaps members of your family have heard the song. Invite them to listen to the traditional fiddle tune "The Eighth of January" and together yell "Huzza!"
