Mr.
John Rich, you're a busy man.
Thank you for coming to see us.
I love everything you're doing out there.
Thank you for coming.
I feel like fighting down in the Southland today.
What do you think?
Battle of New Orleans, brother.
Let's do it.
[A]
Well in [D] 1814 we took a [E] little trip along with Colonel [A] Jackson down to Miami, Mississippi.
Took a [D] little begging and we took a little [E] deed and we fought the bloody [A] British in the town of New Orleans.
Fired our guns and the British kept a coming.
Wasn't as many as it was a while ago.
Fired once more and they began a running.
They hounded Mississippi [E] to the Gulf [A] of Mexico.
That's right, John.
Well old Heathcrete [D] said we could take them by [E] surprise if we didn't fire them up cause [A] there was too many.
I held our [D] fire until they see their faces [E] well.
Opened up our squirrel [A] guns until they gave them well.
We fired our guns and the British kept a coming.
[E] Wasn't as many as it was a [A] while ago.
Fired once more and they began a running.
They hounded Mississippi [E] to the Gulf of [A] Mexico.
Here we go.
Well they ran through the fields and they ran through the gravels and they ran through the bushes where the road wouldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them.
They hounded [E] Mississippi [A] to the Gulf of Mexico.
That's it Marty.
[D] [E]
[A] [B] [A]
Well we fired our can until the barrel [E] melted down.
So we grabbed an [A] alligator and we fought another round.
Filled his air with [D] cannonballs, powdered his behind.
[E] And when we touched [A] a powder off the gator locked his mind.
We fired our guns and the British kept a coming.
Wasn't as many as it was a while ago.
Fired once more and they began a running.
They hounded Mississippi [E] to the Gulf of [A] Mexico.
Yeah they ran through the fields and they ran through the gravels and they ran through the bushes where the road wouldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them.
They hounded Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Here we go.
I sit down in Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
