Strum
D-DU-UDU
 We've paid  in hell since Moscow burned
 As Cossacks  tear us piece by piece
 Our dead  are strewn a hundred leagues
 Though death  would be a sweet release
 And our grande  armee is dressed in rags
 A frozen  starving beggar band
 Like rats  we steal each other's scraps
 Fall  to fighting hand  to hand
 Save  my soul from evil, Lord
 And heal  this soldier's heart
 I'll trust  in thee to keep  me, Lord
 I'm done  with Bonaparte
 What dreams he made for us to dream
 Spanish skies, Egyptian sands
 The world was ours, we marched upon
 Our little Corporal's command
 And I lost an eye at Austerlitz
 The sabre slash yet gives me pain
 My one true love awaits me still
 The flower of the aquitaine
 Save my soul from evil, Lord
 And heal this soldier's heart
 I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
 I'm done with Bonaparte
 I pray for her who prays for me
 A safe return to my belle France
 We prayed these wars would end all wars
 In war we know is no romance
 And I pray our child will never see
 A little Corporal again
 Point toward a foreign shore
 Captivate the hearts of men
 Save my soul from evil, Lord
 And heal this soldier's heart
 I'll trust in thee to keep me, Lord
 I'm done with Bonaparte
