[G] [A]
[E] [A] In [D] 1814 we took a little trip [E] Along the Colonel Jackson [Am] down to mighty [A] Mississippi
We took a little bacon [D] and we took a little [E] beans
And we caught the bloody [A] British in the town [G] of New Orleans
[A] We fired our guns and the British kept running Wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to run Down the Mississippi [E] to the Gulf [A] of Mexico
We looked down the [D] river till we see the British [E] come
And there must have been a [A] hundred of them beating on a drum
Step [C#] so [D] high that they made the bugles [E] ring We stood behind the [A] cotton bales and didn't
say a thing We fired our guns and the British kept running
Wasn't as [E] many as there was a while [A] ago We fired once more and they began to run
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hick Chris [D] said we could take them by [E] surprise
If we didn't fire [F#m] muskets till we looked them in the [A] eye
Held our [D] fire till we see their faces [E] well We opened up our [Am] squirrel guns and [A] really
give them whirl
We fired our guns and the British kept running Wasn't as [C#m] many as there [A] was a while ago
Fired once more and they began to run Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Well they ran through the friars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where [E] a rabbit couldn't [A] go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch him
Down the [E] Mississippi to [A] the Gulf of Mexico
[Am] We [A] fired our cannon till [D] the barrel melted down
[E] We grabbed an alligator and [Em] we fought another round
[A] The field is here with cannonballs [D] the pallet is behind
[E] And when we touched [A] the powder off the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept running Wasn't as many as there was a while ago
Fired once more and they began to run Down the Mississippi to [E] the Gulf of [A] Mexico
Well they ran through the friars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
Ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch him
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
