War Like Lads Of Russia

When Napoleon Bonaparte to Moscow he went
With all his troops and all his men, their minds fully bent
To take the Russian country they were full employed
But the Russians fought against them and they soon did them destroy.
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 warlike lads of Russia they fought all in one mind
Made Bonaparte to run and leave his troops behind.
A way 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?
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.
Those warlike lads of Russia they fought all in one mind
Made Bonaparte to run and leave his troops behind.
Here's 80.000 men from em they've killed and they have taken
Likewise 10.000 horses and 200 bits of cannon
Never more to Leon, Paris or French Flanders there advance
For it I do I may be sure they'll teach me how to dance.
Now it's to conclude and thus to finish off my song
Old Boney's men and Russia wish they had a hold of him
The cruellest death they'd put him to, that e're a man befell
Oh damn you all says Bonaparte I'm clear of you all.
Those warlike lads of Russia they fought all in one mind
Made Bonaparte to run and leave his troops behind.
