In 1814 we took a little trip
along with colonel Jackson down the Might Mississip
we took a little bacon and we took a little beans
we met the bloody British in the town of New Orleans
Chorus:
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin
wasn't ney as many as they was a-while a go
we fired once more and they began a-runnin
on down the Mississippi to the gulf of mexico
Something like
Old Hickry said we could take em by surprise
if we held our fire till we looked em in the eyes
so we held our fire till we really seen em well
when we touched our powder off we really gave them -- well
Chorus:
Can't remember the other verses.
