We fired our guns and the British kept a comin
Wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a running
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
what's the verse about the cannon and the alligator?
Ole Hickory said we could take em by surprise
If we held our fire til we looked em in the eyes
We held our fire til we seed their faces swell
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and
Really gave em hell
Wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began a running
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Now there's a memory (even remember the tune)!
Best wishes to all in harm's way!
