Bonaparte's Retreat Songtext
von Pee Wee King

I met the girl I love
In a town way down in Dixie
′Neath the stars above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see
Then I held her in my arms
And told her of her many charms,
And I kissed her while the fiddles played "Bonaparte's Retreat"
It was on that night
That I held her oh so tight 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,
And I kissed her while the fiddles played "Bonaparte's Retreat"
So, I held her in my arms
And told her of her many charms,
And I kissed her while the fiddles played "Bonaparte's Retreat"
