[00:03.28]
[00:05.27]In eighteen-fourteen we took a little trip
[00:07.89]Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
[00:10.43]We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
[00:12.79]And we caught the bloody British
[00:14.12]In the town of New Orleans
[00:15.49]We fired our guns and the British
[00:17.06]Kept on comin'
[00:17.84]There wasn't neigh as many as there was a while ago
[00:20.32]We fired once more and they began to runnin'
[00:22.80]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:25.36]We looked down the river and we seen the British come
[00:27.67]And there must have been a hundred of
[00:28.97]Them beatin on the drum
[00:30.26]They stepped so high
[00:31.30]And they made their bugles ring
[00:32.71]We stood behind our cotton bales
[00:33.94]And didn't say a thing
[00:35.25]We fired our guns and
[00:36.45]The British kept on comin'
[00:37.66]There wasn't neigh as many
[00:38.74]As there was a while ago
[00:40.15]We fired once more and they began to runnin'
[00:42.52]On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
[00:44.98]Fired our guns fired our guns
[00:49.77]Oh Hickory said we could take them by surprise
[00:52.36]If we didn't fire our muskets
[00:53.58]Stil we looked them in the eyes
[00:54.93]We held our fire stil we seen their faces well
[00:57.25]Then we opened up our squirrel guns
[00:58.91]And really gave them well

[01:11.22]Briars and they ran through the brambles
[01:12.74]And they ran through the bushes
[01:13.85]Where a rabbit couldn't go
[01:15.17]They ran so fast that the hounds
[01:17.00]Couldn't catch them
[01:17.73]Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

[01:29.05]And powered his behind
[01:30.15]And when we touched the powder off the
