Verse 1
C
In 1814
F
they took a little trip
G
Along with Colonel Jackson
C
down to mighty Mississippi
They took a little bacon
F
and they took a little beans
G
And they caught the bloody British
C
near the town of New Orleans
F
We fired our guns
C
and the British kept a -comin'
There wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while ago
We fired once more
and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico
They looked down the river
F
and they saw the British comin'
G
There must have been a hundred
C
of them beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high
F
and they made their bugles ring
G
But we just stood beside our cotton bales
C
and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns
and the British kept a -comin'
There wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while ago
We fired once more
and they began to runnin'
From down to Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico
F
Oh, Hickory said they could
take them by surprise
G
If they didn't fire a musket
C
till they looked them in the eyes
They held their fire
F
till they saw their faces well
G
Then they opened up their squirrel guns
C
and really gave them hell
Well, we fired our guns
and the British kept a -comin'
There wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while ago
They fired once more,
and they began to run,
on down the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico.
They ran through the briars,
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,
And on down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico.
They fired their cannon
F
till the barrel melted down,
G
So they grabbed an alligator
C
and they fought another round.
He filled his head with cannonballs
F
and powdered his behind
G
C
And when we touched the powder off,
the gator lost his mind
They fired their 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 runnin'
On down the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico
They ran through the barns
and they ran through the gravels
And they ran through the bushes
where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast
that the hounds couldn't catch them
And down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico
Up, two, three, four
Up, two, three, four
Up, two, three, four
