[Verse 1] A augmentedA D MajorD In 1814 we took a little trip E7E7 A augmentedA Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip' D MajorD We took a little bacon and we took a little beans E7E7 A augmentedA And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans [Chorus] A augmentedA We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' E7E7 A augmentedA There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago A augmentedA We fired once more and they begin to Runnin E7E7 A augmentedA On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [Verse 2] A augmentedA We looked down the river. D MajorD And we see'd the British come, E7E7 And there must have been a hundred of 'em. A augmentedA Beatin' on the drums. A augmentedA They stepped so high. D MajorD And they made their bugles ring. E7E7 We stood beside our cotton bales. A augmentedA And didn't say a thing. [Chorus] A augmentedA We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' E7E7 A augmentedA There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago A augmentedA We fired once more and they begin to runnin' E7E7 A augmentedA On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [Verse 3] A augmentedA D MajorD Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise. E7E7 If we didn't fire our muskets. A augmentedA 'Till we looked 'em in the eye. A augmentedA We held our fire.

And they ran through the brambles. And they ran through the bushes. E7E7 A augmentedA Where a rabbit couldn't go. A augmentedA They ran so fast. That the hounds couldn't catch 'em. E7E7 On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. [Verse 4] A augmentedA D MajorD We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down E7E7 A augmentedA So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round A augmentedA D MajorD We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind E7E7 A augmentedA And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind [Chorus] A augmentedA We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' E7E7 A augmentedA There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago A augmentedA We fired once more and they begin to runnin' E7E7 A augmentedA On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico [Outro] A augmentedA Yeah, they ran through the briars. And they ran through the brambles. And they ran through the bushes. E7E7 A augmentedA Where a rabbit couldn't go. A augmentedA They ran so fast. That the hounds couldn't catch 'em. E7E7 A augmentedA
