Les Humphries Singers - Mexico lyrics

Sing Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, ooh (2x)

In 1814

We took a little trip

Along with Colonel Jackson

Down the Mississip'

We took a little bacon

And we took a little beans

And we went and fought the British

In the town of New Orleans

Well we fired our guns

And the British kept a-coming

There wasn't quite as many

As there was a while ago

We fired once more

And then we started running

On down the Mississippi

To the Gulf of Mexico

refrein:

Sing Mexico, Mexico, ooh

Sing Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, ooh

Old Hick'ry said

We could take 'em by surprise

If we didn't fire our muskets

Til we looked 'em in the eyes

We held our fire

Till we saw their faces well

Then we opened up our muskets

And we really gave 'em hell

We fired our guns

And the British kept a-coming

There wasn't quite as many

As there was a while ago

We fired once more

And then we started running

On down the Mississippi

To the Gulf of Mexico

refrein

Mexico (5x)

I said Me (Me)

X (X), I, C, O

Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, ooh

Sing Mexico, Mexico, Mexico, ooh

We fired our guns, and the British kept a-coming

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

They fired once more and then we start to running

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
