Verse

A augmentedA        D MajorD
Well in 1814 we took a little trip
E MajorE                A augmentedA
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississipp
               D MajorD
We took a little bacon an we took a little beans
    E MajorE               A augmentedA
And we caught the Bloody British in a town named New Orleans

Chorus

             E MajorE       A augmentedA
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                    E MajorE      A augmentedA
And there wasn't nigh' as many as there was a while ago
           E MajorE      A augmentedA
We fired once more an they began a runnin'
                E MajorE      A augmentedA
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Verse

           D MajorD
Ole' Hickory said we could take em' by surprise
   E MajorE                A augmentedA
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked'em in the eyes
             D MajorD
We held our fire till we seen their faces well
    E MajorE                A augmentedA
When we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave em' hell

Chorus

             E MajorE       A augmentedA
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                    E MajorE      A augmentedA
And there wasn't nigh' as many as there was a while ago
           E MajorE      A augmentedA
We fired once more an they began a runnin'
                E MajorE      A augmentedA
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Bridge

                     E MajorE        A augmentedA
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
                    E MajorE        A augmentedA
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go
             E MajorE        A augmentedA
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch'em
                E MajorE      A augmentedA
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Riff D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD E MajorE A augmentedA

Verse

                 D MajorD
Well we fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
   E MajorE              A augmentedA
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
                     D MajorD
We filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind
  E MajorE               A augmentedA
And when we set the powder off the gator lost his mind

Chorus

             E MajorE       A augmentedA
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                    E MajorE      A augmentedA
And there wasn't nigh' as many as there was a while ago
           E MajorE      A augmentedA
We fired once more an they began a runnin'
                E MajorE      A augmentedA
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Outro

                     E MajorE        A augmentedA
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go
             E MajorE        A augmentedA
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch'em
                E MajorE      A augmentedA
