Bonaparte's Retreat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars up above, she was the sweetest girl I ever did see

[Refrain]
So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat"

[Verse 2]
All the world was bright, as I held her on that night
And I heard her say, "Please don't ever go away"

[Refrain]
So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat"

[Instrumental Break] [Verse 3]
Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars up above, she was the sweetest girl I ever did see

[Refrain]
So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat"

[Verse 4]
All the world was bright, as I held her on that night
And I heard her say, "Please don't ever go away"

[Refrain]
So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat"
