Bonaparte's Retreat

I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Texas

Beneath the stars up above she was the sweetest girl I ever did see

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

I kissed her while the guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright as I held her on that night

And I heard her say please don't you ever go away

And so I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

And kissed her while the guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat

[ guitar ]

All the world was bright...

[ guitar ]

So I held her in my arms...
