Met the 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 ♪ 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 and told her of her many charms And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat ♪ So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms And kissed her while the organ played the Bonaparte's Retreat
