Bonaparte's Retreat - Glen Campbell

Met the girl I-I love in a town way down in Dixie

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

Guitar…

All the world wa-as bright as I held her on that night

And I heard her-er say

Please don’t you go away

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

Kissed her while the bagpipe played

The Bonaparte’s Retreat

Bagpipe…

Well I met the girl I-I love in a town way down in Dixie

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 fiddles played

The Bonaparte’s Retreat

Fiddle…

All the world wa-as bright as I held her on that night

And I heard her-er say

Please don’t you go away

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

Kissed her while everybody played

The Bonaparte’s Retreat

Everybody…

Yes I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms, I

Kissed her while everybody’s playin'

The Bonaparte’s Retreat

Yes I held her in my arms, I told her of her many charms, and I

Kissed her while everybody’s playin' (fade)
