In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip
E A
Along with Colonel Packingham up the Mississipp'
D
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
E A
And we met the bloomy Rebels near the town of New Orleans.
We fired our guns and the Rebels kept a comin'
E A
There wasn't night as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
D
We looked up the river and we seen the Rebels come
E A
While we had at least a hundred of us beatin' on the drum
D
We stepped so high and we made our bugles ring
E A
While they stood beside the cotton bails and didn't say a thing.
We fired our guns and the Rebels kept a comin'
E A
There wasn't night as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico..
D
Old Hickory said they could take us by surprise
E A
If they didn't fire a musket till they looked us in the eyes
D
They held their fire till they seen our faces well
E A
Then then opened up their squirrel guns and really gave us hell.
We fired our guns and the Rebels kept a comin'
E A
There wasn't night as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
E A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
E A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
D
They fired their cannon till the barrel melted down
E A
So they grabbed the alligator and they fought another round
D
They filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind
E A
And when they lit the powder off the gator lost his mind.
