[00:00.00]Bonaparte's Retreat - Kay Starr
[00:13.88]Met the man I love
[00:16.99]In a town way down in Dixie
[00:20.43]'Neath the stars above
[00:23.86]He was the sweetest man you ever did see
[00:28.29]When he held me in his arms
[00:31.16]And told me of my many charms
[00:34.22]He kissed me while the fiddles played
[00:37.59]The Bonaparte's Retreat
[00:40.09]All the world was bright
[00:43.58]When he held me on that night
[00:46.64]And I heard him say
[00:49.94]"Please don't ever go away"
[00:54.18]When he held me in his arms
[00:57.50]And told me of my many charms
[01:00.93]He kissed me while the fiddles played
[01:03.92]The Bonaparte's Retreat
[01:33.83]When he held me in his arms
[01:36.89]And told me of my many charms
[01:40.96]He kissed me while the fiddles played
[01:43.57]The Bonaparte's Retreat
[01:45.95]All the world was bright
[01:49.25]When he held me on that night
[01:52.37]And I heard him say
[01:55.75]"Please don't you go away"
[01:59.82]He's gone and I'll admit I knew
[02:03.00]That I had met my Waterloo
[02:06.37]I knew that he would say ado
[02:09.48]With Bonaparte's Retreat
[02:12.54]Good-bye little boy
[02:15.78]Good-bye little joy
[02:18.90]Good-bye little boy
[02:21.15]So long little joy
[02:22.90]Good-bye little boy
