[00:00.01]In 1814 we took a little trip
[00:06.17]Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.
[00:09.28]We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
[00:12.07]And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans.
[00:14.97]
[00:15.27]We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
[00:17.53]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
[00:20.22]We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
[00:23.24]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[00:25.70]
[00:28.21]We looked down the river and we see'd the British come.
[00:31.16]And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the drum.
[00:33.90]They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring.
[00:36.47]We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.
[00:39.54]
[00:39.93]We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
[00:42.37]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
[00:45.30]We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
[00:47.83]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[00:50.54]
[00:53.23]Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
[00:56.00]And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
[00:58.92]They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[01:01.69]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[01:04.84]
[01:06.72]We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
[01:09.60]So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
[01:12.53]We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
[01:15.48]And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
[01:18.31]
[01:19.00]We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin.
[01:20.91]There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago.
[01:23.93]We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
[01:26.71]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
[01:29.48]
[01:31.66]Yeah, they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
[01:34.59]And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go.
[01:37.49]They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
[01:40.65]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
