Bonaparte's Retreat Lyrics

Bonaparte's Retreat (1947) Listen to Song
Co-writers: Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart
Met the girl I love
In a town 'way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
She was the sweetest girl that I ever did see
So I took her in my arms, and
told her of her many charms, I
kissed her while the fiddles played, 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 go away"
So I held her in my arms, and

Told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the fiddles played, the
Bonaparte's Re-treat
(Repeat both verses)
