Song Lyrics
When he held me in his arms, met the man i love
When he held me on that night, goodbye little boy, the bonaparte s retreat
all the world was bright
And told me of my many charms, when he held me in his arms Starr, met the man i love
he was the sweetest man you ever did see
When he held me on that night, when he held me in his arms, when he held me in his arms
Please don t ever go away, and told me of my many charms, met the man i love
all the world was bright
Goodbye little boy, that i had met my waterloo
Goodbye little joy, please don t you go away
When he held me in his arms, he was the sweetest man you ever did see
when he held me on that night
goodbye little joy
met the man i love
when he held me on that night
The bonaparte s retreat, the bonaparte s retreat, the bonaparte s retreat
Met the man i love, and told me of my many charms
When he held me in his arms, he s gone and i ll admit i knew
He kissed me while the fiddles played, please don t you go away
Please don t you go away, all the world was bright
In a town way down in dixie, goodbye little boy, met the man i love
goodbye little boy
when he held me in his arms
So long little joy, in a town way down in dixie
The bonaparte s retreat, when he held me in his arms
And told me of my many charms, goodbye little joy
