In 1814 we took a little trip along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'. 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-comin', there wasn't 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 a river and we see'd 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 behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin', There wasn't 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. Old Hickory said, "We could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the eye." We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well, then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em well, we fired our guns and the British kept a-comin', there wasn't 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 briers 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 'n' powdered his behind and when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
