[D] [E] [A]
In [D] 1814 we took a little [E] trip Along with Colonel [A] Jackson down to mighty Mississippi
bacon and we [D] took a little [E] beans And we caught the bloody [A] British in a town in New Orleans
many as there was a while ago
run it On down to Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down a [D] river and we see the British [E] come And there must have been a [A] hundred of them eatin' on the drum
high and they made their bugles [E] ring We stood beside our [A] cotton fields and didn't say a thing
many as there was a while ago

We took a little bacon and we [D] 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 a [D] river and we see the British [E] come And there must have been a [A] hundred of them eatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles [E] ring We stood beside our [A] 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 fire [A] muskets if we looked them in the eye
We held our fire till we seen their faces [E] well Then we opened up [A] our swirl 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 priors and they ran through the brambles And they ran through the bushes where a 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 and we fought [A] 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
