Bonaparte's Retreat - Kay Starr

Met the man I love

In a town way down in Dixie

'Neath the stars above

He was the sweetest man you ever did see

When he held me in his arms

And told me of my many charms

He kissed me while the fiddles played

The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright

When he held me on that night

And I heard him say

"Please don't ever go away"

When he held me in his arms

And told me of my many charms

He kissed me while the fiddles played

The Bonaparte's Retreat

When he held me in his arms

And told me of my many charms

He kissed me while the fiddles played

The Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright

When he held me on that night

And I heard him say

"Please don't you go away"

He's gone and I'll admit I knew

That I had met my Waterloo

I knew that he would say ado

With Bonaparte's Retreat

Good-bye little boy

Good-bye little joy

Good-bye little boy

So long little joy

Good-bye little boy
