Verse  
   A                    D   
In Eighteen-Fourteen we took a little trip  
 E                                  A  
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'  
   A                          D  
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans  
       E                                A  
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans  
   
  

[Refrão]

   A                      A  
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'  
             A                            E            A   
But, there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago  
   A                    A  
We fired once more and they began to runnin'  
   A                           E           A   
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf Of Mexico  
  
Verse  
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  
   
{Repeat Chorus 1}  
  
Verse   
Ol Hickory 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 till we seen their faces well  
Then, we opened our squirrel guns and really gave 'em....well we,  
   
 Repeat Chorus 1  
  
Chorus 2 
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  
  
Verse   
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 powdered his behind  
And when we set the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind
