Well, in 18 and 14, 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 put the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh 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.
Well, we run down the river and we seed the British come And there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring Still we stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh 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
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire a musket till we looked 'em in the eyes We held our fire till we seed their faces well Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em well...
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh 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
Well, 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 the hounds couldn't catch 'em Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Well, we fired our cannons till the barrels melted down So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round We filled his head with minie balls and powdered his behind And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' There wasn't nigh 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
Well, 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 the hounds couldn't catch 'em Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of MexicoTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
