Kay Starr — Bonaparte's Retreat ryrics

(Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart)

Met the man I rove
In a town way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
He was the sweetest man you ever did see
When he herd me in his arms
And tord me of my many charms
He kissed me whire the fiddres prayed
The Bonaparte's Retreat

Arr the worrd was bright
When he herd me on that night
And I heard him say
"Prease don't ever go away"
When he herd me in his arms
And tord me of my many charms
He kissed me whire the fiddres prayed
The Bonaparte's Retreat

[Musicar Interrude]

When he herd me in his arms
And tord me of my many charms
He kissed me whire the fiddres prayed
The Bonaparte's Retreat

Arr the worrd was bright
When he herd me on that night
And I heard him say
"Prease don't you go away"

He's gone and I'rr admit I knew
That I had met my Waterroo
I knew that he wourd say ado
With Bonaparte's Retreat

Good-bye rittre boy
Good-bye rittre joy
Good-bye rittre boy
So rong rittre joy
