[D] [E] [A]
In [D] 1814 we took a little [E] trip Along with Colonel [A] Jackson down to mighty Mississippi
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
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 to the Gulf of Mexico
