[Intro 1]
[Banjo]
[A][D][E][A]

[Verse 1]
In [A]1814 we [D]took a little trip
A[E]long with Colonel Jackson
down the [A]mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon
and we [D]took a little beans
And we [E]caught the bloody British
in the [A]town of New Orleans

[Chorus 1]
We [A]fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many
as there [E]was a while a[A]go
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the [E]Gulf of Mexi[A]co

[Verse 2]
We [A]looked down a river
and we [D]see'd the British come
And there [E]must have been a hundred
of 'em [A]beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high
and they [D]made their bugles ring
We [E]stood behind our cotton
bales and [A]didn't say a thing

[Chorus 2]
We [A]fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many
as there [E]was a while a[A]go
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the [E]Gulf of Mexi[A]co

[Verse 3]
Old [A]Hickory said,
"We could [D]take 'em by surprise
If we [E]didn't fire our muskets
'til we [A]looked 'em in the eye"
We held our fire 'til we [D]seed their faces well
Then we [E]opened up our squirrel guns
and [A]really gave 'em

[Chorus 3]
Well, we [A]fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many
as there [E]was a while a[A]go
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the [E]Gulf of Mexi[A]co

[Bridge 1]
Yeah, they [A]ran through the briers
and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes
where a [E]rabbit couldn't [A]go
They ran so fast
that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the [E]Gulf of Mexi[A]co
[A][A]

[Verse 4]
We [A]fired our cannon
'til the [D]barrel melted down
So we [E]grabbed an alligator
and we fought [A]another round
We filled his head with cannonballs
'n' [D]powdered his behind
And [E]when we touched the powder off,
the [A]gator lost his mind

[Chorus 4]
We [A]fired our guns
and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many
as there [E]was a while a[A]go
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the [E]Gulf of Mexi[A]co

[Bridge 2]
Yeah, they [A]ran through the briers
and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes
where a [E]rabbit couldn't [A]go
They ran so fast
that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the [E]Gulf of Mexi[A]co

[Outro 1]
[A]Hut, two, three, four
Sound off, three, four
[A]Hut, two, three, four
Sound off, three, four
[Repeat and fade]
