In 18 - 14 we took a lit-tle trip
A- long with gen-'ral Jack-son
Down the might-ty Mis-sis-sip
We took a lit-tle ba-con
And we took a lit-tle beans
And we caught the blood-y Brit-ish
In the town of New Or-leans
Chorus:
We fired our guns and
The Brit-ish kept a com-in'
There was-n't nigh as ma-ny
There was-n't nigh as ma-ny
As there was a while a-go
We fired once more
And they com-menced to run-nin'
Down the Mis-sis-sip-pi
To the Gulf of Me-xi-co
