VersesChorus
ADEAAEA
In AEighteen-Fourteen we Dtook a little trip
AElong with Colonel Jackson down the Amighty Mississip'
We Atook a little bacon and we Dtook a little beans
And we Ecaught the bloody British in the Atown of New Orleans
We Afired our guns and the ABritish kept a-comin'
But, there waAsn't nigh as many as there waEs a while agoA
We Afired once more and tAhey began to runnin'
On Adown the Mississippi to the EGulf Of MexiAco
We looked down the river and we seen 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 beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
Repeat Chorus 1
Ol Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we seen their faces well
Then, we opened our squirrel guns and really gave 'em....well we,
Repeat Chorus 1
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 'til the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we set the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind
