(Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart)
|
Met the man I love
|
In a town way down in Dixie
|
'Neath the stars above
|
He was the sweetest man you ever did see
|
When he held me in his arms
|
And told me of my many charms
|
He kissed me while the fiddles played
|
The Bonaparte's Retreat
|
|
All the world was bright
|
When he held me on that night
|
And I heard him say
|
"Please don't ever go away"
|
When he held me in his arms
|
And told me of my many charms
|
He kissed me while the fiddles played
|
The Bonaparte's Retreat
|
|
[Musical Interlude]
|
|
When he held me in his arms
|
And told me of my many charms
|
He kissed me while the fiddles played
|
The Bonaparte's Retreat
|
|
All the world was bright
|
When he held me on that night
|
And I heard him say
|
"Please don't you go away"
|
|
He's gone and I'll admit I knew
|
That I had met my Waterloo
|
I knew that he would say ado
|
With Bonaparte's Retreat
|
|
Good-bye little boy
|
Good-bye little joy
|
Good-bye little boy
|
So long little joy
|
