Ole Napoleon Lyrics - Hank Thompson

Ole 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 ole Napoleon ole 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 ole Napoleon of ole Napoleon 

[ fiddle - guitar ] 

Callin' 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 

The empire was defeated he met his Waterloo he met his Waterloo 

They put him on an island to stay there till he died 

And poor ole Napoleon sat right down and cried sat right down and cried 

Now if you think you're mighty and your finals you will win 

You may have your Waterloo like ole Napoleon like ole Napoleon
