Thread Name: Lyr Req: He went over the lowlands like thund
Subject: He went over the lowlands like thunder?
I'm trying to find the words and title of a song the Watersons used to sing. I've checked their website and can't find it.
It starts with these lines....

Oh now people give ear to my story
I have come from afar for to tell
The story of (Brave Bonaparte?)
I confess that I knew him well
He went over the lowlands like thunder
Made nations to quiver and quake
Many thousands stood gazing in wonder
At the havoc he always did make

Any help greatfully accepted - Thanks
