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