[B] In 1814 [E] we took a little trip [F#] along with Colonel Jackson [B] down to mighty, Mississippi
Took a little bacon [E] and we took a little beans [F#] bought the bloody British [B] in the town of New Orleans

We fired once more and they began to run it down the Mississippi [B] to the Gulf of Mexico
