THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS 
A          D
In 1814 we took a little trip
  E                              A
Along with Col. Jackson down the mighty Mississippi'
                              D
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
       E                              A
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleansstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
 
CHORUS:
A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              E          A
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
 
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
                            E       A
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
 
A
Well We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
                                             E      A
And there must been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum 
                              D
Stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
                                            E     A
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing 
CHORUS:
A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                                E          A
There were not as many as there was a while ago
 
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
                            E       A
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
 
A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
                                        E               A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
                                 D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico 

A
We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down 
                                         E       A
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
                                        D
We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind 
                                               E        A
And when we touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind
CHORUS:
A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              E           A
There wasn't 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


A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
                                        E               A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
                                 D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico 


CHORUS:
A 
We fired our guns and the British kept a comin'
                              E           A
There wasn't 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


A
Yeah! They ran through the briers and they ran through the brambles
                                        E               A
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
                                 D
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
                               E         A
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
