1
In 1814 we took a little trip
2
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
3
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
4
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
5
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
6
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
7
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
8
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
9
(One-two-three, with a-one-two-three)
10
We looked down a river
11
(Hut-two)
12
And we see'd the British come
13
(Three-four)
14
And there must have been a hundred of'em
15
(Hut-two)
16
Beatin' on the drums
17
(Three-four)
18
They stepped so high
19
(Hut-two)
20
And they made their bugles ring
21
(Three-four)
22
We stood by our cotton bales
23
(Hut-two)
24
And didn't say a thing
25
(Two-three-four)
26
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
27
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
28
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
29
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
30
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
31
(One-hut, two-three-four)
32
If we didn't fire our muskets
33
(One-hut, two-three-four)
34
'Till we looked 'em in the eye
35
(One-hut, two-three-four)
36
We held our fire
37
(Hut, two-three-four)
38
'Till we see'd their faces well
39
Then we opened up our squirrel guns
40
And really gave 'em - well we
41
Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
42
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
43
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
44
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
45
Yeah, they ran through the briars
46
(One-hup-two)
47
And they ran through the brambles
48
(Hup-two-three-four)
49
And they ran through the bushes
50
(Hup-two)
51
Where the rabbit couldn't go
52
(Hup-two-three-four)
53
They ran so fast
54
(Hup-two)
55
That the hounds couldn't catch 'em
56
(One-two-three-four)
57
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
58
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
59
We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down
60
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
61
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
62
And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
63
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
64
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
65
We fired once more and they begin to runnin'
66
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
67
Yeah, they ran through the briars
68
(Hup-one-two)
69
And they ran through the brambles
70
(One-two-three-four)
71
And they ran through the bushes
72
(Hup-two)
73
Where the rabbit couldn't go
74
(Hup-two-three-four)
75
They ran so fast
76
(Hup-two)
77
That the hounds couldn't catch 'em
78
(One-two-three-four)
79
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
80
(One-two, hup-two-three-four)
81
Hut-two-three-four
82
Sound off, three-four
83
Hut-two-three-four
84
Sound off, three-four
85
Hut-two-three-four
86
Hut-two-three-four.
