"Bonaparte's Retreat" (1949. Pee Wee King)

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
And told her of her many charm
I kissed her while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat.

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard he say "Please don't ever go away".
So I took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played
The Bonaparte's Retreat.
