1
In 1814, we took a little trip
2
Along with Colonel Jackson
3
Down the mighty Mississip
4
We took a little bacon
5
And we took a little beans
6
And we caught the bloody British
7
In the town of New Orleans
8
(CHORUS)
9
We fired our guns
10
And the British kept a coming
11
There wasn't nigh as many
12
As there was a while ago
13
We fired once more
14
And they began to running
15
On down the Mississippi
16
To the Gulf of Mexico
17
We looked down the river
18
And we seed the British come
19
And there must have been a
20
Hundred of em beating on the drum
21
They stepped so high
22
And they made their bugles ring
23
We stood behind our cotton bales
24
And didn't say a thing
25
(CHORUS)
26
Old Hickory said we
27
Could take em by surprise
28
If we didn't fire our musket
29
Til we looked em in the eyes
30
We held our fire til
31
Ee seed their faces well
32
Then we opened up our
33
Squirrel guns and gave em, well
34
(CHORUS)
35
Yeah, they ran through the briars
36
And they ran through the brambles
37
And they ran through the bushes
38
Where a rabbit couldn't go
39
They ran so fast that the
40
Hounds couldn't catch em
41
On down the Mississippi
42
To the Gulf of Mexico
43
We fired our cannon
44
Til the barrel melted down
45
So we grabbed an alligator
46
And we fought another round
47
We filled his head with cannonballs
48
And powdered his behind
49
And when we touched the powder off
50
The gator lost his mind
51
(CHORUS)
52
Yeah, they ran through the briars
53
And they ran through the brambles
54
And they ran through the bushes
55
Where a rabbit couldn't go
56
They ran so fast that the
57
Hounds couldn't catch em
58
On down the Mississippi
59
To the Gulf of Mexico
