I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie
Neath the stars above the sweetest thing I ever did see
So I held her in my arms I told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat
And all the world seemed bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say please don't you ever go away
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat
Well I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie...
And all the world seemed bright as I held her on that night...
Neath the stars above the sweetest thing I ever did see
So I held her in my arms I told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat
And all the world seemed bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say please don't you ever go away
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
I kissed her while the fiddles played the Bonaparte's Retreat
Well I met a girl I loved in a town way down in Dixie...
And all the world seemed bright as I held her on that night...
