          D7 (xx0212@1)                         GAnd (320003@1)there musta been a hund'erd of 'em beatin' on the drum 
                              CThey (x32010@1)stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
   D7 (xx0212@1)                              GWe (320003@1)stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing.

      D7 (xx0212@1)                           GIf (320003@1)we didn't fire our musket till we looked 'em in the eyes 
                         C (x32010@1)            
We held our fire till we see'd their faces well 
        D7 (xx0212@1)                             GThen (320003@1)we opened up with squirrel guns and really gave 'em ... Well -

GWe (320003@1)fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              D7 (xx0212@1)         GThere (320003@1)wasn't as many as there was a while ago

                               D7 (xx0212@1)        GOn (320003@1)down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

GYeah! (320003@1)they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
                                        D7 (xx0212@1)            GAnd (320003@1)they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
                               D7 (xx0212@1)        GOn (320003@1)down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.

G (320003@1)                       CWe (x32010@1)fired our cannon till the barrel melted down 
      D7 (xx0212@1)                        GSo (320003@1)we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
                                        CWe (x32010@1)filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind 
    D7 (xx0212@1)                                GAnd (320003@1)when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.

GWe (320003@1)fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              D7 (xx0212@1)         GThere (320003@1)wasn't as many as there was a while ago
