In F1814 we Ftook a little trip
AG7long with Col. Jackson down the Fmighty mississip'd
We took a little bacon and we Ftook a little beans
And we G7caught the bloody British in a Ftown in New Orleans.
We Ffired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There wasn't as many as there G7was a while aFgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the G7Gulf of MexiFco.
We Flooked down the river and we Fsee'd the British come
And there G7musta been a hund'erd of 'em Fbeatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they Fmade their bugles ring
We G7stood beside our cotton bales and Fdidn't say a thing.
We Ffired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There wasn't as many as there G7was a while aFgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the G7Gulf of MexiFco.
Old FHick'ry said we could Ftake 'em by su'prise
If we G7didn't fire our musket till we Flooked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we Fsee'd their faces well
Then we G7opened up with squirrel guns and Freally gave 'em ... Well -
We Ffired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There wasn't as many as there G7was a while aFgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the G7Gulf of MexiFco.
Yeah! they Fran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a G7rabbit couldn't Fgo
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the G7Gulf of MexiFco.
We Ffired our cannon till the Fbarrel melted down
So we G7grabbed an alligator and we Ffought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and Fpowdered his behind
And G7when we touched the powder off, the F'gator lost his mind.
We Ffired our guns and the British kept a comin'
There wasn't as many as there G7was a while aFgo
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the G7Gulf of MexiFco.
Yeah! they Fran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a G7rabbit couldn't Fgo
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the G7Gulf of MexiFco.
