	G	C
	In 1814 we	took a little trip

	D7	G
A-	long with Col. Jackson down the	mighty mississip'

	C
We took a little bacon and we	took a little beans

	D7	G
And we	Caught the bloody British in a	town in New Orleans.

CHORUS

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'

	D7	G
There wasn't as many as there	was a while a-	go

We fired once more and they began to runnin'

	D7	G
On down the Mississippi to the	Gulf of Mexi-	co.

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come

And there musta been a hund'erd 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.

CHORUS

Old Hick'ry said we could take 'em by su'prise

If we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes

We held our fire till we see'd their faces well

Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... Well -

REPEAT 1ST CHORUS

2ND CHORUS

Yeah! they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

	D7	G
And they ran through the bushes where a	rabbit couldn't	go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

	D7	G
On down the Mississippi to the	Gulf of Mexi-	co.

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 and powdered his behind

And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.

REPEAT 1ST CHORUS

REPEAT 2ND CHORUSA
