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 guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat guitar
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 bagpipe played the Bonaparte's Retreat bagpipe
Well I 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 fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat fiddle
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say please don't you go away and
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms I
Kissed her while everybody played the Bonaparte's Retreat everybody play
Yes, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms I
Kissed her while everybody's playin' the Bonaparte's Retreat
