A                    D  
In Eighteen-Fourteen we took a little trip 
 E                                  A 
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip' 
                              D 
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans 
       E                                A 
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans 
  
 
Chorus 1 
   A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin' 
                                              E      A  
But, there wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago 
 
We fired once more and they began to runnin' 
                                E          A  
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf Of Mexico
