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.

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

  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.
