BONAPARTE'S RETREAT
(Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart)

Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above-she was the sweetest thing I ever did see
So I took her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played "The Bonaparte's Retreat."
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
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
I kissed her while the fiddles played "The Bonaparte's Retreat."
