In 1814 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 Cought The Bloody British In A Town In New Orleans.





*Chorus*


We Fired Our Guns And The British Kept A Comin'


There Was Not As Many As There Was A While Ago.


We Fired Once More And They Began To Runnin


A Down The Mississippi To The Gulf Of Mexico.





We Looked Down The River And We Seen The British Come


And There Must Have Been A Hundred Of 'em Beatin On The Drum.


They Stepped So Highand They Made Their Pupils Ring


But We Stood Behind Our Country Till We Couln't See A Thing.





Chorus





Ol' Hickory Said We Could Take 'em By Surprise


If We Didn't Fire Our Muskets 'till We Looked 'em In The Eyes.


We Held Our Fire 'till We Seen Thier Faces Well


Then We Opened Up The Squirrel Guns And Really Gave Em....

Chorus





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 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 Fought Another Round.


We Filled His Head With Cannonballs, Powered His Behind


And When We Took The Powder Off The Gator Lost His Mind.





Chorus





Yeah They Ran Through The Brairs 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


A Down The Mississippi To The Gulf Of Mexico.
