Bonaparte's Retreat

Met a girl that I loved

In a town way down in Texas

'Neath 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

And I kissed her

While the fiddles played

The Bonaparte's Retreat

And all the world was bright

As I held her on that night

And I heard her say

Don't you ever go away

So I held her in my arms

And told her of her many charms

And I kissed her

While the guitars played

The Bonaparte's Retreat

[ guitar - piano - harmonica ]

All the world was bright

As I held her on that night

And I heard her say

Don't you ever go away

So I held her in my arms

And told her of her many charms

And I kissed her

While the guitars played

The Bonaparte's Retreat
