Bonaparte's Retreat (1950)
Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above, she was the sweetest girl that 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

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her 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 bagpipes played the Bonaparte's Retreat

Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above, she was the sweetest girl that 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

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her 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
