[Verse]
In 1814 we took a little trip,
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip,
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans,
And we fought the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.

[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a coming,
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago,
We fired once more and they began a running,
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

[Verse]
Old Hickory said "We could take em by surprise,
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked em in the eye",
We held our fire till we'd seen their faces well.
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave them hell.

[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a coming,
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago,
We fired once more and they began a running,
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

[Verse]
They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes where the rabbits couldn't go,
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch em,
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a coming,
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago,
We fired once more and they began a running,
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

[Verse]
We fired our cannon from the barrel melted down,
We grabbed an alligator and we fought another round,
We stuffed his head with cannonballs and powered his behind,
And when we shot the powder off the gator lost his mind.

[Chorus]
We fired our guns and the British kept a coming,
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago,
We fired once more and they began a running,
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
