Lyrics:
Met the girl I, I love in a town way down in DixieBeneath the stars up aboveShe was the sweetest girl I ever did seeSo I held her in my arms and told her of her many charmsI kissed her while the guitars playedThe Bonaparte's retreat guitarAll the world was bright as I held her on that nightAnd I heard her sayPlease don't you go awaySo I held her in my arms and told her of her many charmsI kissed her while the bagpipe playedThe Bonaparte's retreat bagpipeWell I met the girl I, I love in a town way down in DixieBeneath the stars up aboveShe was the sweetest girl I ever did seeSo I held her in my arms and told her of her many charmsI kissed her while the fiddles playedThe Bonaparte's retreat fiddleAll the world was bright as I held her on that nightAnd I heard her sayPlease don't you go awaySo I held her in my arms and told her of her many charmsI kissed her while everybody playedThe Bonaparte's retreat everybodyYes, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charmsI kissed her while everybody's playin'The Bonaparte's retreatYes, I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charmsAnd I kissed her while everybody's playin'
