Bonaparte's Retreat Lyrics - Willie Nelson

Met the girl that I love, 

In a town way down in Texas. 

'Neath 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, 

An'; I kissed her while the fiddles played, 

The Bonaparte's Retreat. 

All the world was bright as I held her on that night, 

And I heard her say: "Don't you ever go away."

So I held her in my arms and, 

Told her of her many charms, 

An' I kissed her while the guitars played, 

The Bonaparte's Retreat. 

Instrumental break. 

All the world was bright as I held her on that night, 

And I heard her say: "Don't you ever go away."

An' I kissed her while the guitars played,
