In 1814 we took a little trip   Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip   We took a little bacon and we took a little beans   And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans      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'   On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico      We looked down the river and we seed the British come   And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum   They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring   We stood behind our cotton bales 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'   On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico      Old Hickory said we could take'em by surprise   If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked'em in the eyes   We held our fire till we seed their faces well   Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave'em...well...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'   On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico      Yeah 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'em   On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico      We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down   So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round   We filled his head with cannonballs'n powdered his behind   And when we touched the powder off,the gator lost his mind      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'   On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico      Yeah 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'em   On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico      Hut,hut,three,four   Sound off, three,four   Hut,hut, three,four   Sound off,three,four   Hut,hut,three,four
