[A]
In 1814 [E] we took a little trip along with Colonel Jackson [A] down the mighty Mississippi
We took a little bacon [D] and we took a little beans and we caught the bloody [A] British in the Tyler New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
We caused a night as many as there was a-whilin'
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river [D] and we seen the British [E] comin'
There must have been a [A] hundred of them beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made the bugles [E] ring
We stood beside a [A] cotton bell that didn't say a thing
[D] [E] [A]
Oh, Hickory [D] said, we can take them by [E] surprise
We didn't fire [A] them up until we looked them in the eye
We held our fire till we see their faces [E] well
Then we opened up the [A] squirrel guns and really gave them hell
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
We caused a night as many as there was a-whilin'
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Yeah, they ran through the briar and they ran through the bramble
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch them
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted [E] down
So we grabbed an [A] alligator and we fought another round
We filled these heavy cannonballs and powder these [E] behind
And when we tucked [A] the powder off the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
We caused a night as many as there was a-whilin'
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[D] [E] [A]
[D] [A]
Yeah, they ran through the briar and they ran through the bramble
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast the hounds couldn't catch them
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
In 1814 [D] we took a little trip
From [A] Cradle Jackson down to mighty Mississippi
We took a little bacon [D] and we took a little beans
[E] And we fought the bloody British [A] in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There was a night as many as there was a-whilin'
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There was a night as many as there was a-whilin'
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
