Met the girl I love
In a town 'way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
She was the sweetest girl that I ever did see

So I took her in my arms, and
told her of her many charms, I
kissed her while the fiddles played, the
Bonaparte's Re-treat

All the world was bright As I held her on that night
And I heard her say
"Please don't go away"

So I held her in my arms, and
Told her of her many charms, I
Kissed her while the fiddles played, the
Bonaparte's Re-treat

(Repeat both verses)
