Bonaparte's Retreat

Met the girl 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.

All the world wa 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.

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.

I kissed her while everybody played

The Bonaparte's Retreat.

I told her of her many charms
