[Verse 1] Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie 'Neath the stars up above, she was the sweetest girl I ever did see [Refrain] So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat" [Verse 2] All the world was bright, as I held her on that night And I heard her say, "Please don't ever go away" [Refrain] So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat" [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie 'Neath the stars up above, she was the sweetest girl I ever did see [Refrain] So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat" [Verse 4] All the world was bright, as I held her on that night And I heard her say, "Please don't ever go away" [Refrain] So, I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms I kissed her while the fiddles played the "Bonaparte's Retreat"
