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 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, 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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
Yes, I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charms |
|
And I kissed her while everybody's playin' |
