Jimmy Driftwood never *said when the *battle was fought.

"In 1814 we took a little trip,"

That's the onliest date in the whole song.

It was in 1814 that Jackson moved into the New Orleans area. Action between U.S. and Brit troops started in 1814. The culmination of the whole affair was in 1815 but I don't see that Jimmy Driftwood can be held responsible for anyone's misinterpretation of his lyrics.

Now, for extra credit, who won the War of 1812?
