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
