Battle of 1814

In 1814 we took a little trip along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans and we caught the bloody British at a town in New Orleans
We fired our guns but the British kept a coming, there wasn't as many as there was awhile ago
We fired once more and they began a runnin', down the mississippi to the gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we see the British come, and there must've been a hundred of 'em beatin on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
we stood beside our cottonbells and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns but the British kept a coming, there wasn't as many as there was awhile ago
We fired once more and they began a runnin', down the mississippi to the gulf of Mexico
Old Hickreet 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 see their faces well, then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave em weeeellll weee
We fired our guns but the British kept a coming, there wasn't as many as there was awhile ago
We fired once more and they began a runnin', down the mississippi to the gulf of Mexico
Yah 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 cannons till the barrels melted down so we got an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his mouth with cannonballs and pattered his behind and when we dust the powder off the gator lost his mind
We fired our guns but the British kept a coming, there wasn't as many as there was awhile ago
We fired once more and they began a runnin', down the mississippi to the gulf of Mexico
Yah 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
