In Eighteen-Fourteen
we took a little trip,
A long with Colonel Jackson
down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon
and we took a little beans,
And we caught the b_____ British
in the town of New Orleans.

We fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin,
But, there wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while a go.
We fired once more
and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf Of Mexi-co.

We looked down the river
and we see'd the British come.
And there must have been a hundred of 'em
beatin' on the drum.
They stepped so high
and they made their bugles ring,
We stood beside our cotton bales
and didn't say a thing.

We fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin,
But, there wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while a go.
We fired once more
and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf Of Mexi-co.

Ol Hickory said
we could take 'em by surprise,
If we didn't fire our muskets
'til we looked 'em in the eyes.
We held our fire
till we see'd their faces well,
Then, we opened our squirrel guns
and really gave 'em....well,

We fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin,
But, there wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while a go.
We fired once more
and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf Of Mexi-co.

Yeah, they ran through the briars
and they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes
where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast
that the hounds couldn't catch 'em,
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf Of Mexic-o.

We fired our cannon
'til the barrel melted down.
So, we grabbed an alligator
and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannonballs
and powdered his behind,
And when we set the powder off,
the 'gator lost his mind.

We fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin,
But, there wasn't nigh as many
as there was a while a go.
We fired once more
and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf Of Mexi-co.

Yeah, they ran through the briars
and they ran through the brambles,
And they ran through the bushes
where a rabbit couldn't go.
They ran so fast
that the hounds couldn't catch 'em,
On down the Mississippi
to the Gulf Of Mexic-o.
