Met the girl I love
In a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
She was the sweetest gal
I ever did see
So I took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the big band
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 go away
And so I took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the guitars
Played the Bonaparte's Retreat
So I took her in my arms
And told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the big band
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 go away
And so I took 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 was bright
As I held her on that night
And I heard her say
Please don't go away
So I took her in my arms
Told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the big band
Played the Bonaparte's Retreat
