[Verse 1]
A D
In 1814 we took a little trip
E A
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississippi'
D
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
E A
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
[Chorus]
A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
E A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
E A
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse 2]
A
Well We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
E A
And there must been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
D
Stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
E A
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
[Chorus]
A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
E A
There were not as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
E A
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse 3]
A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
E A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
A
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 cannonballs and powdered his behind
E A
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind
[Chorus]
A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
E A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Verse 4]
A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
E A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Chorus]
A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
E A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[Outro]
A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
E A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
