Bonaparte's Retreat

Met the one I loved in a town way down in Dixie

Neath the stars above he was the sweetest man I ever did see

So he took his in my arms and told me of my many charms

He kissed me while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright as he held my hand that night

And I heard him say please don't ever go away

So he held me in my arms and told me of my many charms

He kissed me while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright...
