[Verse 1]
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 in 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

[Verse 2]
We looked down the river.
And we see’d the British come,
And there must have been a hundred of ’em.
Beatin’ on the drums.
They stepped so high.
And they made their bugles ring.
We stood beside our cotton bales.
And didn’t say a thing.


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

[Verse 3]
Old Hickory said we could take ’em by surprise.
If we didn’t fire our muskets.
‘Till we looked ’em in the eye.
We held our fire.
‘Till we see’d their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
And really gave ’em – well 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

Yeah, they ran through the briars.

And they ran through the brambles.

And they ran through the bushes.
Where a rabbit couldn’t go.
They ran so fast.

That the hounds couldn’t catch ’em.
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

[Verse 4]
We fired our cannon ’til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind


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


Yeah, they ran through the briars.

And they ran through the brambles.

And they ran through the bushes.
Where a rabbit couldn’t go.
They ran so fast.

That the hounds couldn’t catch ’em.
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
