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 the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico!!!

From the YT video description:
Bangla Desh was released as a non-album single in July 1971, to raise awareness for the millions of refugees from the country formerly known as East Pakistan, following the 1970 Bhola cyclone and the outbreak of the Bangladesh Liberation War.
Harrison's inspiration for the song came from his friend Ravi Shankar, a Bengali musician, who approached Harrison for help in trying to alleviate the suffering.
"Bangla Desh" has been described as "one of the most cogent social statements in music history" and helped gain international support for Bangladeshi independence by establishing the name of the fledgling nation around the world. In 2005, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan identified the song's success in personalizing the Bangladesh crisis, through its emotive description of Shankar's request for help.

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner
But he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona
For some California grass
Get back, get back
Get back to where you once belonged

KV Mahadevan's Sindhu Bhairavi Ragam is one of his most famous compositions. SP B and P Suseela's voice complemented Veturi's best lyrics. And, of course, K Viswanath's illustration made this basic idea yet vibrant.
The natural beauty of Citrakūṭa mitigates the hardships and dangers of exile in the wilderness.

Lyrics
या इथें लक्ष्मणा बांध कुटी
या मन्दाकिनिच्या तटनिकटीं
Yā itheṃ Lakṣmaṇā bāndha kuṭī
Yā Mandākinicyā taṭa-nikaṭīṃ
Right here, Lakṣmaṇa, build a hut
In this vicinity of Mandākinī's bank
चित्रकूट हा, हेंच तपोवन
येथ नांदती साधक मुनिजन
सखे जानकी, करि अवलोकन
ही निसर्गशोभा भुलवि दिठी
Citrakūṭa hā, heṃça tapo-vana
Yetha nāndatī sādhaka muni-jana
Sakhe Jānakī, kari avalokana
Hī nisarga-śobhā bhulavi diṭhī
This Citrakūṭa, this austere forest
Here dwell aspiring hermit-folk
Friend, Janaka's daughter, do survey it!
This nature-elegance beguiles vision
पलाश फुलले, बिल्व वांकले
भल्लातक फलभारें लवले
दिसति न यांना मानव शिवले
ना सैल लतांची कुठें मिठी
Palāśa phulale, bilva vāṃkale
Bhallātaka phala-bhāreṃ lavale
Disati na yāṃnā mānava śivale
Nā saila latāñcī kuṭheṃ miṭhī
Flame-of-the-forest blooming, bael bent
Oriental cashew drooping with fruit
No sign that humans brushed them
Nowhere loose is the plants' entwining
किती फुलांचे रङ्ग गणावे?
कुणा सुगन्धा काय म्हणावें?
मूक रम्यता सहज दुणावें
येतांच कूजनें कर्णपुटीं
Kitī phulāṃçe raṅga gaṇāve?
Kuṇā sugandhā kāya mhaṇāveṃ?
Mūka ramyatā sahaza duṇāveṃ
Yetāça kūjaneṃ karṇa-puṭīṃ
How many flowers' colours to count?
Which fragrance to identify as what?
Silent fascination spontaneously doubles
As soon as chirping reaches ear-cups
कुठें काढिती कोकिल सुस्वर
निळा सूर तो चढवि मयूर
रत्नें तोलित निजपंखांवर
संमिश्र नाद तो उंच वटीं
Kuṭheṃ kāḍhitī kokila susvara
Niḷā sūra to çaḍhavi mayūra
Ratneṃ tolita nija-paṅkhāṃvara
Saṃmiśra nāda to uṃça vaṭīṃ
Somewhere, cuckoos sing pure notes
That blue peacock raises his voice
Weighing jewels on his fanned feathers
That noise symphonizes high in the banyan
शाखाशाखांवरी मोहळे
मध त्यांच्यांतिल खालीं निथळे
वनसंजीवक अमृत सगळें
ठेविती मक्षिका भरुन घटीं
Śākhāśākhāṃvarī mohaḷe
Madha tyāñcyāṃtila khālīṃ nithaḷe
Vana-saṃjīvaka amṛta sagaḷeṃ
Ṭhevitī makṣikā bharuna ghaṭīṃ
On branch after branch, beehives
Honey from them drips down
Forest-reviving, all that ambrosia
The bees keep in filled pots
हां सौमित्रे सुसज्ज सावध
दिसली लपली क्षणांत पारध
सिद्ध असू दे सदैव आयुध
या वनीं श्वापदां नाहिं तुटी
Hāṃ Saumitre susajja sāvadha
Disalī lapalī kṣaṇāṃta pāradha
Siddha asū de sad'aiva āyudha
Yā vanīṃ śvāpadāṃ nāhiṃ tuṭī
Oh, Sumitrā's son, be well-equipped and alert
The hunt's seen and hidden in moments
Always let a weapon be ready on hand
In this forest there's no shortage of wild animals
जानकिसाठीं लतिका कलिका
तुझिया माझ्या भक्ष्य सायकां
उभय लाभले वनांत एका
पोंचलों येथ ती शुभचि घटी
Jānakisāṭhīṃ latikā kalikā
Tujhiyā mājhyā bhakṣya sāyakāṃ
Ubhaya lābhale vanāṃta ekā
Poṃçaloṃ yetha tī śubhaci ghaṭī
For Janaka's daughter, plants and buds
For your arrows and mine, edibles
Both we found in one forest
We arrived at a quite auspicious hour!
जमव सत्वरी काष्ठें कणखर
उटज या स्थळीं उभवूं सुन्दर
शाखापल्लव अंथरुनी वर
रेखुं या चित्र ये गगनपटीं
Zamava satvarīṃ kāṣṭheṃ kaṇakhara
Uṭaja yā sthaḷīṃ ubhavūṃ sundara
Śākhā-pallava antharunī vara
Rekhuṃ yā citra ye gagana-paṭī
Collect quickly sturdy logs
A beautiful hut on this spot we'll erect
Branch and blossom making bedding, thereon
Come, we'll sketch a picture on this sky-cloth
