[D] [E] [A]
In [D] 1814 we took a little [E] trip Along the Colonel [A] Jackson down to mighty Mississippi
We took a little [D] bacon and we took a little [E] beans
And we caught the bloody [A] British in a town in 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 run it
On down to Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico We looked down [D] a river and we see the British
[E] come And there must have been [A] a hundred of them
beating on the drum They stepped so [D] high and they made their [E] bugles
ring We stood beside [A] our cotton fields and didn't
say a thing 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 run
it On down to Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hickory [D] said we could take them by [E] surprise If we didn't [A] fire muskets till we looked them
in the eye We held [D] our fire till we see their [E] faces well
Then we opened up [A] the squirrel guns and really gave them well
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 run it
On down to 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 the rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them
On down to Mississippi [E] to the Gulf of Mexico
[A] We fired our cannon [D] till the barrel melted down
[E] So we grabbed an alligator [A] and we fought another round
We filled his head with [D] cannonballs and powdered his behind
[E] And when we touched the powder [A] off the gator lost his mind
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 run it On down to 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 the rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them
