Bonaparte's Retreat lyrics

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 [ guitar ] I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie... All the world was bright as I held her on that night...
