Sue Thompson Bonaparte's Retreat Lyrics

Met the man I love
In a town way down in Dixie
`Neath the stars above
He was the sweetest man you ever did see

When he held me in his arms and
Told me of my many charms he
Kissed me while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright
When he held me on that night
And I heard him say
Please don't ever go away

When he held me in his arms and
Told me of my many charms he
Kissed me while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat When he held me in his arms and
Told me of my many charms he
Kissed me while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright
When he held me on that night
And I heard him say
Please don't 'cha go away

He's gone, and I'll admit I knew that
I had met my Waterloo I
Knew that he would say "Adieu"
With Bonaparte's Retreat

Goodbye little boy
Goodbye little joy
Goodbye little boy
So long little joy
Goodbye little
