Well, looked down the river
F
and we see the British come
Dm

There must have been a hundred

of them beating on the drum
Step so high
F
and they made their bugles ring

We stood by a cotton belt
Well, they fired their guns

There wasn't quite as many

They fired once more
and they started running

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
C
Well, Packingham said we

We fired our guns
and the British kept the coming
There wasn't quite as many

Down the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico

When they fired their guns
and the British kept a -comin'
There wasn't quite as many

and before another round
We filled his head with cannonballs

And then we tased the powder
C

off the gator lost his mind
the British kept a -comin'
There wasn't quite as many
as there was an hour ago
Fired once more and they
started runnin'
Down the Mississippi to

Down the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico
Down the Mississippi to
the Gulf of Mexico

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
