Bonaparte's Retreat Full Lyrics
[00:04.49] Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
[00:09.74] Beneath the stars up above, she was the sweetest girl I ever did see

[00:20.48] Kissed her while the guitars played The Bonaparte's Retreat (Guitar)

[00:45.53] All the world was bright as I held her on that night
[00:50.33] And I heard her say, "Please, don't you go away"
[00:56.14] So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I
[01:01.33] Kissed her while the bagpipe played The Bonaparte's Retreat (Bagpipe)
