Verse

A        D
Well in 1814 we took a little trip
E                A
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississipp
               D
We took a little bacon an we took a little beans
    E               A
And we caught the Bloody British in a town named New Orleans

Chorus

             E       A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                    E      A
And there wasn't nigh' as many as there was a while ago
           E      A
We fired once more an they began a runnin'
                E      A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Verse

           D
Ole' Hickory said we could take em' by surprise
   E                A
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked'em in the eyes
             D
We held our fire till we seen their faces well
    E                A
When we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave em' hell

Chorus

             E       A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                    E      A
And there wasn't nigh' as many as there was a while ago
           E      A
We fired once more an they began a runnin'
                E      A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Bridge

                     E        A
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
                    E        A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go
             E        A
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch'em
                E      A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Riff D E A D E A

Verse

                 D
Well 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 cannon balls and powdered his behind
  E               A
And when we set the powder off the gator lost his mind

Chorus

             E       A
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                    E      A
And there wasn't nigh' as many as there was a while ago
           E      A
We fired once more an they began a runnin'
                E      A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

A D E A D E A E A

Outro

                     E        A
Well they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
                    E        A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit wouldn't go
             E        A
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch'em
                E      A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
       D E A
