Bonaparte's Retreat - Kay Starr

　　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

　　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

　　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

　　All the world was bright

　　When he held me on that night

　　And I heard him say

　　"Please don't you go away"

　　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

　　Good-bye little boy

　　Good-bye little joy

　　Good-bye little boy

　　So long little joy

　　Good-bye little boy
