[D] [E] [A]
In [D] 1814 we took a little trip [E] along the Colonel [A] Jackson down to mighty Mississippi.
We took a little [D] bacon and we took a little [E] beans and we caught the bloody British in a [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 [D] down a river and we see the British come [A] and there must have been a hundred of them beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so [D] high and they made the 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 Hickey Creek said [D] we could take them by surprise [E] if we didn't [A] fire muskets.
We looked them in the eye, we held our [D] fire till we see the faces [E] swell.
Then we opened up the [A] squirrel 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 friars and they ran through the brambles and they ran through the bushes where the rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them on down to Mississippi [E] to the [A] Gulf of Mexico.
We fired our [D] cannon till the barrel melted [E] down so we grabbed an alligator and [A] we fought another round.
We filled his head with [D] cannonballs and powdered his [E] behind.
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 friars and they ran through the brambles and they ran through the bushes where the rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them on down to Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
