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.

   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.
