Bonaparte's Retreat Songtext

von Justin Tubb

(Pee Wee King - Redd Stewart)

I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above she was the sweetest girl I ever did see
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the organ 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
And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat.
