Verse 1

    Eb
Met the girl I love in a town way down in Dixie
‘Neath the stars above she was the sweetest girl I ever did see
                         Bb
So I took her in my arms and told her of her many charms
  Eb
I kissed her while the fiddles played the Bonaparte’s Retreat

Chorus

    Eb
All the world was bright as I held her on that night
And I heard her say Please don’t ever go away
                         Bb
So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms
  Eb
I kissed her while the fiddles played the Bonaparte’s Retreat
