BONAPARTE'S RETREAT
Words and music by Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart
Met the [D] girl I love
In a town 'way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see
So I took her in my arms, and
[A7] told her of her many charms, I
[D] kissed her while the fiddles played, the
[A7] Bonaparte's Re-[D] treat.
All the [D7] world was bright
As I held her on that night
And I heard her say
"Please don't ever go away",
[D] So I held her in my arms, and
[A7] Told her of her many charms, I
[D] Kissed her while the fiddles played, the
[A7] Bonaparte's Re-[D] treat.
