Bonaparte's Retreat

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)
