Met the man I loveIn a town way down in Dixie'Neath the stars aboveHe was the sweetest man you ever did seeWhen he held me in his armsAnd told me of my many charmsHe kissed me while the fiddles playedThe Bonaparte's RetreatAll the world was brightWhen he held me on that nightAnd I heard him say"Please don't ever go away"When he held me in his armsAnd told me of my many charmsHe kissed me while the fiddles playedThe Bonaparte's RetreatWhen he held me in his armsAnd told me of my many charmsHe kissed me while the fiddles playedThe Bonaparte's RetreatAll the world was brightWhen he held me on that nightAnd I heard him saySongtexte"Please, don't you go away"He's gone and I'll admit I knewThat I had met my WaterlooI knew that he would say adoWith Bonaparte's RetreatGoodbye, little boyGoodbye, little joyGoodbye, little boySo long, little joy Aus Songtexte Mania
