Bonaparte's Retreat 

by Willie Nelson 

written by Redd Stewart & Pee Wee King

D7      G

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

                             D7

So I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

  G                                       D7            G

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

                                 D7

And so I held her in my arms and told her of her many charms

    G                                       D7            G

And kissed her while the guitars played the Bonaparte's Retreat
