Bonaparte's Retreat

A
Met the girl I love

In a town 'way down in Dixie

'Neath the stars above

She was the sweetest girl I ever did see




So I took her in my arms,
       E7
And I told her of her many charms,
  A
I kissed her while the fiddles played,
     E7             A
The Bonaparte's Re-treat.




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,
     E7
And Told her of her many charms,
   A
I Kissed her while the fiddles played,
     E7              A
The Bonaparte's Re-treat.
