[Intro]
A D E7
[Verse 1]
A In A1814 we Dtook a little trip
AE7long with Colonel Jackson down the Amighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we Dtook a little beans
And we E7caught the bloody British in the Atown of New Orleans
[Chorus]
We Afired our guns and the British kept acomin'
There wasn't as many as there E7was a while aAgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the E7Gulf of MexiAco
[Verse 2]
We Alooked down a river and we Dsee'd the British come
And there E7must have been a hundred of A'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they Dmade their bugles ring
We E7stood behind our cotton bales and Adidn't say a thing
[Chorus]
We Afired our guns and the British kept acomin'
There wasn't as many as there E7was a while aAgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the E7Gulf of MexiAco
[Verse 3]
Old AHickory said, "We could Dtake 'em by surprise
If we E7didn't fire our muskets 'til we Alooked 'em in the eye"
We held our fire 'til we Dsee'd their faces well
Then we E7opened up our squirrel guns and Agave 'em
[Chorus]
Well, we Afired our guns and the British kept acomin'
There wasn't as many as there E7was a while aAgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the E7Gulf of MexiAco
[Bridge]
Yeah, they Aran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a E7rabbit couldn't Ago
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the E7Gulf of MexiAco
[Verse 4]
We Afired our cannon 'til the Dbarrel melted down
So we E7grabbed an alligator and we Afought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' Dpowdered his behind
And E7when we touched the powder off, the Agator lost his mind
[Chorus]
We Afired our guns and the British kept acomin'
There wasn't as many as there E7was a while aAgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the E7Gulf of MexiAco
[Bridge]
Yeah, they Aran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a E7rabbit couldn't Ago
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the E7Gulf of MexiAco
