Bonaparte's Retreat

Met the girl I, I love in a town way down in Dixie

Beneath the stars up above

She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

I kissed her while the guitars played

The Bonaparte's retreat guitar

All the world was bright as I held her on that night

And I heard her say

Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

I kissed her while the bagpipe played

The Bonaparte's retreat bagpipe

Well I met the girl I, I love in a town way down in Dixie

Beneath the stars up above

She was the sweetest girl I ever did see

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 fiddle

All the world was bright as I held her on that night

And I heard her say

Please don't you go away

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

I kissed her while everybody played

The Bonaparte's retreat everybody

Yes, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

I kissed her while everybody's playin'

The Bonaparte's retreat

Yes, I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charms

And I kissed her while everybody's playin'
