Met the girl I love
In a town way down in Dixie
Beneath the stars up above
She was the sweetest girl 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 wa bright
As I held her on that night

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 bagpipe played
The Bonaparte's Retreat.

The Bonaparte's Retreat.
