Verse

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

Chorus

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

Verse

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

Chorus

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

Bridge

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

Riff  D  E  A  D  E  A

Verse

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

Chorus

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

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