Bonaparte’s Retreat

Pd… Musik & Lyrik: Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart …Pd.

Pd… 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

Pd… 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

Pd… 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

Pd… All the world was bright
When he held me on that night
And I heard him say
Please don't you go away

Pd… 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

Pd… Good-bye little boy
Good-bye little joy
Good-bye little boy
So long little joy …Pd.
