Bonaparte's Retreat Lyrics

Willie Nelson Bonaparte's Retreat

I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Texas
Beneath 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
I kissed her while the guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat

All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say please don't you ever go away
And so I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
And kissed her while the guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat
[ guitar ]
All the world was bright...
[ guitar ]
So I held her in my arms...
