Text: Willie Nelson. Bonaparte's Retreat.

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 hand 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

All the world was bright as I held her hand 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
