Hank Locklin - Bonaparte's Retreat lyrics

rate me

Met a girl I loved 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 told her of her many charms

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

[ organ ]

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

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

So I held her in my arms...

[ organ ]

So I held her in my arms...

So I held her in my arms...
