Bonaparte's Retreat

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

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"

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

And I heard her say, "Please don't ever go away"

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"
