1. When Napoleon Bonaparte

       D  A      D

   to Moscow he went

        G                  D

   with all his troops and all his men

          G                A

   their minds were fully bent

       D                G    A

   to take the Russian country

         D       A     D

   they were fully employed

            G                D

   but the Russians fought against them

             F         G       C

   and they soon did them destroy.



2. Well in a little while

   the Russians did attack

   'gainst Bonaparte and all his men

   they fought them and they drove them back

   the action being so hot

   right and left and front and rear

   a damn you all says Bonaparte

   I'll stay no longer here.



          D                G    A

R: Those war like lads of Russia they fought all in one mind

         G            D                  G       A

   made Bonaparte to run and leave his troops behind

          D                G    A

   those war like lads of Russia they fought all in one mind

         G            D                  A       D

   made Bonaparte to run and leave his troops behind.



3. Away then went poor Bonaparte

   as fast as he could run

   the poor Frenchmen looked after him

   left horses men and guns

   his boxes and his matches

   ammunition wagons too

   he left them all behind him well

   what could poor Boney do?

R:



4. Away then went poor Bonaparte

   as fast as he could ride

   the poor Frenchmen looked after him

   saying oh it's very hard

   to think he'd lead us all up here

   and leave us to our fate

   you'd think he'd stop along with us

   and help us in our state.

R:



5. Here's eighty thousand men from 'em

   they've killed and they have taken

   likewise ten thousand horses

   and two hundred bits of cannon

   never more to Leon Paris

   or French Flanders they're advanced

   for if I do I may be sure

   they'll teach me how to dance.

R:



6. Now it's to conclude and thus

   to finish off me song

   old Boney's men and Russia wish

   they had a hold of him

   the cruellest death they'd put him to

   that ever a man befell

   oh damn you all says Bonaparte

   I'm clear of you all.
