[G] [A]
[D] [G] [A]
[D] In a P [G]-14 we took a [A] little trip, oh [D] girl, don't you know I like it?
We took a [G] little leggin' and we took a [A] little beat,
Popped the red British [D] in a town in New Orleans.
And I'm going in a British ever coming,
It wasn't that many and it wasn't while ago,
I ain't much more and they begin to run,
Down to Mississippi to do the government.
We looked [G] down the river and see the [A] pretty palm,
Might have [D] been a hundred of me,
But I'm going to the state of [G] California.
I make it through [A] the rain,
Sit the [D] stop clock back to the same thing.
Car goes in a British ever coming,
It wasn't that many and it wasn't while ago,
I ain't much more and they begin to run,
Down to Mississippi to do the government.
And I ran through the bars and I ran through the cradles,
Ran through the bushes where rabbits could eat those,
Ran so fast that I couldn't catch it,
Down to Mississippi to [Bm] the government.
[D] [Bm]
[A] [G] [Dm]
[D] Now digger is [G] dead,
And he's dead about the [E] pride,
But it didn't quite [D] must you feel the look of any eye,
Hell, my pride, [G] I feel a sweet, the taste [A] swell,
Where [D] I'm running to,
And I'm going in a British ever coming,
It wasn't that many and it wasn't while ago,
I ain't much more and they begin to run,
Down to Mississippi to the government.
We turned [G] our cannon to a barrel running,
[A] [D] Alligator is one color now,
Through the [G] devil cannon, both sides of his [A] behind,
When we set [D] the fire up, alligator's loose.
[E] [D]
[A]
[Dm] [A] [D] And I ran through the bars and I ran through the cradles,
Ran through [A] the bushes where [D] rabbits could eat those,
Ran so fast that I couldn't catch it,
Down to Mississippi to the government.
