Paroles de Bonaparte's retreat

Met the girl i-i love in a town way down in dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl i ever did see

So i held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, i
Kissed her while the guitars played
The bonaparte's retreat
Guitar...

All the world wa-as bright as i held her on that night
And i heard her-er say
Please don't you go away

So i held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, i
Kissed her while the bagpipe played
The bonaparte's retreat
Bagpipe...

Well i met the girl i-i love in a town way down in dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl i ever did see

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
Fiddle...

All the world wa-as bright as i held her on that night
And i heard her-er say
Please don't you go away

So i held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, i
Kissed her while everybody played
The bonaparte's retreat
Everybody...

Yes i held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, i
Kissed her while everybody's playin'
The bonaparte's retreat

Yes i held her in my arms, i told her of her many charms, and i
Kissed her while everybody's playin' (fade)
