Lyrics Old Napoleon - Hank Thompson

Old Napoleon Bonaparte
He was a mighty man
With his powerful army
He conquered all the land
He conquered all the land
Everybody praised him
The battles he could win
They all talked about him
Old Napoleon
Old Napoleon
He said if I must rule the world
I think I need a queen
He found the girl he wanted
Her name was Josephine
Her name was Josephine
He fell in love with Josephine
And asked her next of kin
If she would like to be the wife
Of old Napoleon
Of old Napoleon
Calling all his generals
And he said it seems to me
All this mighty power′s
Gonna be the death for me
Gonna be the death for me
He marched out in the battle
And in a day or two
Napoleon was defeated
He met his Waterloo
He met his Waterloo
They put him on an island
To stay there till he died
And poor old Napoleon
Sat right down and cried
He sat right down and cried
Now if you think you're mighty
And your finals you will win
You may have a Waterloo
Like old Napoleon
Like old Napoleon
