Bonaparte's Retreat Lyrics - Kitty Wells

Met the one I loved in a town way down in Dixie 

Neath the stars above he was the sweetest man I ever did see 

So he took his in my arms and told me of my many charms 

He kissed me while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat 

All the world was bright as he held my hand that night 

And I heard him say please don't ever go away 

So he held me in my arms and told me of my many charms 

He kissed me while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat 

[ guitar - piano ] 

All the world was bright...
