Lyrics:
Uncle Earl - Bony On The Isle Of St. Helena Bonaparte is away from his wars and his fighting He has gone to a place he can take no delight in He may sit there and dwell on the glories he's seen, oh While alone he remains on the Isle of St. Helena No more in St. Cloud he'll be seen in such splendor Or go on with his wars like the great Alexander He sees his victories and how fleeting they all were While his eyes are on the waves that surround St. Helena Oh Louisy, she weeps for her husband's departin' And she dreams when she sleeps, and she wakes broken-hearted Not a friend to console her, in the past there were so many.. Now alone, she does mourn when she thinks of St. Helena Come all you's got wealth, pray beware of ambition It's just one degree of fate that may change your condition Be steadfast in time, what's to come you know not Your race, it could end on the Isle of St. Helena Now the rude rushing waves, all around they are washing And the white billows heave. On the rocks, they are crashing He may list to the wind o'er the great Mt. Diana While alone, he remains on the Isle of St. Helena
