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 fiddle played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say
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 fiddle played
The Bonaparte's Retreat

Well I met the girl I 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 fiddle played
The Bonaparte's Retreat
