In 1814 we took a little trip
 E7                              A
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty mississip'd
                              D
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
       E7                             A
And we caught the bloody British in a town near New Orleans.


   A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              E7           A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago


We fired once more and they began to runnin'
                               E7          A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.


   A                            D
We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
          E7                           A
And there musta been a hund'erd of 'em beatin' on the drum
                              D
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
   E7                                A
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.


   A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              E7           A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago


We fired once more and they began to runnin'
                               E7          A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.


    A                     D
Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by su'prise
      E7                             A
If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes
                         D
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well
        E7                               A
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... Well -


   A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              E7           A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago


We fired once more and they began to runnin'
                               E7          A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.


           A
Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
                                        E7              A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go


They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
                               E7          A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.


   A                         D
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
      E7                          A
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
                                        D
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
    E7                                  A
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.


   A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              E7           A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago


We fired once more and they began to runnin'
                               E7          A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.


           A
Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
                                        E7              A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go


They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
                               E7          A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
