In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we fought the bloody British in the town OF New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There was nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we seen the British come
And there must have been a hunnerd of 'em beatin on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
But we stood behind our cotton bales didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There was nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Ol' Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we seed thier faces well
Then we opened up the squirrel guns and really gave em
Well we

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There was nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Well they ran through the briars and they ran through thebrambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs, powered his behind
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There was nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through thebrambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
A down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
