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 caught the bloody British in the town of New
Orleans

[Chorus:]
We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin' on
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
And there must have been a hundred of'em beatin' on the
Drum
They stepped so high and they made the bugles ring
We stood by our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

[Chorus:]
Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked 'em in the
Eye
We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well
Then we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave
'Em... Well
