In eighteen
fourteen we took
a little trip
Along with Colonel
Jackson down the
mighty Mississipp'
We took a little bacon
and we took a little beans
And we caught the
bloody British in the
town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and
the British kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh as many
as there was a while ago
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On 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 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
We fired our guns and
the British kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh as many
as there was a while ago
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico
Ol' Hicktory 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 'til
we see their faces well
Then we opened up
our squirrel guns and
really gave 'em well
We fired our guns and
the British kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh as many
as there was a while ago
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico
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
powered his behind
And when we touched
the powder off the
'gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and
the British kept on comin'
There wasn't neigh as many
as there was a while ago
We fired once more and
they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf of Mexico
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
