Lyrics

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'
