in 1814we took a little trip[00:00:09]
along with colonel jackson down the mighty mississip[00:00:12]
we took a little bacon and we took a little beans[00:00:15]
and we caught the bloody british in a town in new orleans[00:00:17]
we fired our guns and the british kept a-comin'[00:00:20]
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:23]
we fired once more and they begin to runnin'[00:00:25]
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:00:28]
we looked down a river[00:00:33]
and we see'd the british come[00:00:34]
and there must have been a hundred of'em[00:00:36]
beatin'on the drums[00:00:37]
they stepped so high[00:00:39]
and they made their bugles ring[00:00:40]
we stood by our cotton bales[00:00:41]
and didn't say a thing[00:00:43]
we fired our guns and the british kept a-comin'[00:00:44]
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:00:47]
we fired once more and they begin to runnin'[00:00:49]
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:00:52]
old hickory said we could take 'em by surprise[00:00:57]
if we didn't fire our muskets[00:01:00]
'till we looked 'em in the eye[00:01:01]
we held our fire[00:01:03]
'till we see'd their faces well[00:01:04]
then we opened up our squirrel guns[00:01:05]
and really gave 'em -well we[00:01:07]
fired our guns and the british kept a-comin'[00:01:09]
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:11]
we fired once more and they begin to runnin'[00:01:14]
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:01:17]
yeah,they ran through the briars[00:01:22]
and they ran through the brambles[00:01:23]
and they ran through the bushes[00:01:25]
where the rabbit couldn't go[00:01:26]
they ran so fast[00:01:28]
that the hounds couldn't catch 'em[00:01:29]
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:01:30]
we fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down[00:01:38]
so we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round[00:01:41]
we filled his head with cannon balls,and powdered his behind[00:01:43]
and when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind[00:01:46]
we fired our guns and the british kept a-comin'[00:01:49]
there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago[00:01:52]
we fired once more and they begin to runnin'[00:01:54]
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:01:57]
yeah,they ran through the briars[00:02:02]
and they ran through the brambles[00:02:03]
and they ran through the bushes[00:02:05]
where the rabbit couldn't go[00:02:06]
they ran so fast[00:02:08]
that the hounds couldn't catch 'em[00:02:09]
on down the mississippi to the gulf of mexico[00:02:10]
