Met the girl |
|
I-I love in a town way down in |
|
DixieBeneath 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, |
|
IKissed her while the guitars played |
|
The Bonaparte's |
|
RetreatGuitar... |
|
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, |
|
IKissed her while the bagpipe played |
|
The Bonaparte's |
|
RetreatBagpipe... |
