Lyric Bonaparte s Retreat

(Pee Wee King)

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 me in his arms and told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddle 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 his arms and told me of my many charms
He kissed me while the fiddle played the Bonaparte s Retreat.

And I heard him say please don t ever go away
So he held me in his arms and told me of my many charms
