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, told her of her many charms I kissed her while the band was playing 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" (Don't ya leave me) [Refrain] So, I held her in my arms, told her of her many charms I kissed her while the band was playing the "Bonaparte's Retreat" [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] I 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, told her of her many charms I kissed her while the band was playing 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" (Don't ya leave me) [Refrain] So, I held her in my arms, told her of her many charms I kissed her while the band was playing the "Bonaparte's Retreat" [Outro] "Bonaparte's Retreat" (Don't ya leave me) "Bonaparte's Retreat" (Don't ya leave me) "Bonaparte's Retreat" (Don't ya leave me) "Bonaparte's Retreat" (Don't ya leave me)
