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

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch'em

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'

We fired once more an they began a runnin'
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
