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

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

Yeah, 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 cannon 'til the barrel melted down.
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind.
 [bad word] 

Yeah, 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.
