In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississippi
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 a coming
There wasn't quite as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a running
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 them
Beating on the drum
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
(Repeat *)
Old hickory said we could take them by surprise
If we didn't fire our Muskets
Till we looked them in the eyes
We held our fire till we see their faces feel
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
And really gave them well
(Repeat *)
** Yeh they ran through the briars
And they ran through the bushes
Where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them
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 canon balls
And powdered his behing
And when we took the powder off
The alligator lost his mind
(Repeat *)
(Repeat **)
