[E] [A] In [D] 1814 we took a little trip [E] along with Colonel Jackson down to mighty [A] Mississippi
We took a little [D] bacon and we 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 coming
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to run it
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down a river and we [D] see the British come
And there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We [E] stood beside our cotton fields and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns and the British kept coming
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to run it
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Old Hick Cree [D] said we could take them by [E] surprise
If we didn't fire muskets till [A] we looked them in the eye
We held [D] our fire till we see their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really [A] gave them well
We fired our guns and the British kept coming
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to run it
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 them
On down the Mississippi [E] to the Gulf of Mexico
[A] We fired our cannon [D] till the barrel melted [E] down
So we grabbed an alligator [A] and we fought another round
We filled his head with [D] cannonballs and powdered his [E] behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept coming
There wasn't as many as there [A] was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to run it
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 them
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[E] Oh!
