Bonaparte's Retreat

I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie
Neath the stars above she was the sweetest girl I ever did 
see
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the organ 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 ever go away
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's 
Retreat
