Waterloo
Composer(s): Marijohn Wilkin; John D. Loudermilk
Performer(s): Stonewall Jackson;
and various other artists
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}
Now old Adam was the first in history
With an apple he was tempted and deceived
Just for spite the Devil made him take a bite
And that's when old Adam met his Waterloo
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}
Little General Napoleon of France
Tried to conquer the world but lost his pants
Met defeat, known as Bonaparte's retreat
And that's where Napoleon met his Waterloo
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}
Now a fellah whose darling proved untrue
Took her life, but he lost his too
Now he swings where the little birdie sings
And that's where Tom Dooley met his Waterloo
{Waterloo, Waterloo)
(Where will you meet your Waterloo?)
(Every puppy has its day)
(Everybody has to pay)
(Everybody has to meet his Waterloo}
