[A]
By the margin of the ocean [D] One pleasant evening [A] in the month of June
[E] The pleasant singing [A]
blackbird [E] His [G] charming notes [A] to tune
[E]
T'was there I spied a [A] woman [E] All in great [A] grief and woe
[E] Conversing with young [D] Bonaparte [G] Concerning the [D] bonny bunch of [A] roses old
And then up and spoke the young Napoleon [D] And he took hold of [E] his [A] mother's hand
[E] Oh mother dear be [A] patient And [E] soon I will take command
I'll raise a terrible [A] army [E] And through tremendous danger [A] go
And in spite of [E] all the [D] universe I'll [G] conquer the bonny [D] bunch of [A] roses old
And when first you saw the great Napoleon [D] You fell down on [A] your bended knee
[E] And you asked your father's [A] life of him And [E] he's granted it most manfully
T'was then he [G] took an [A] army [E] And though the frozen Alps [A] did go
And he said I'll [E] conquer [D] Moscow Come back [G] for the bonny [D] bunch of [A] roses old
And so he's took three hundred thousand fighting men
[D] And kings like wise for to [E] join [A] his throng
[E] He was as well [A] provided for Enough [E] to take [G] the [A] whole [E] world along
But when he came to [A] Moscow All [E] overpowered by [A] driving snow
And Moscow [E] was ever [D] lazing And he [G] lost the [D] bonny bunch of [A] roses old
Oh my son don't speak so [D] venturesome For England she [E] has a heart of oak
And England and Ireland and [A] Scotland Their unity [E] has never been [A] broke
[E] And so my son think of your [A] father In St [E] Helena is a body [A] it lies low
And you will [E] follow [D] after [G] Beware of the [D] bonny bunch of [A] roses old
And it's goodbye to my mother forever [D] For I am on [E] my [A] dying bed
[E] Had I lived I might have been [Am] clever But [E] now I bow my youthful head
And while our bodies do moulder [A] And [E] weeping willows [A] over us do grow
The deeds of [E] brave [D]
Napoleon Will [G] sting the [D] bonny bunch of [A]
roses old
By the margin of the ocean [D]
One pleasant evening in the [E] month [A] of June
[E]
