40
and burned it to the ground
41
ooooh we fired our guns but the yankees kept-a-comin

There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
43
we fired once more and the yankees started runnin
44
Down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooo
45
They ran through the snow and they ran through the forest
46
They ran through the bushes where the beavers wouldnt go
47
The ran so fast they forgot to take their culture
48
Back to America and the gulf of mexico-oo-oo-ooo
49

50
its buildings clean and nice
51

52
and we'll burn the white house twice

54
but the americans wont admit it
55
