In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississipp'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we fought the bloomin' 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 ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we saw the British come
There must have been a hundred of them beating on a drum
They stepped so high and they began to sing
We stood beside the cotton mouth 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 ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

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
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder he really blew his mind

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
But there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
But there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

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
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
But there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
But there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.....
