Bonaparte's Retreat

Willie Hugh Nelson (pronounced /wɪli nɛlsən /; born April 30, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, as well as an author, poet, actor, and activist. The critical success of the album Shotgun Willie (1973), combined with the critical and commercial success of Red Headed Stranger (1975) and Stardust (1978), made Nelson one of the most recognized artists in country music. He was one of the main figures of outlaw country, a subgenre of country music that developed at the end of the 1960s as a reaction to the conservative restrictions of the Nashville sound. Nelson has acted in over 30 films, co-authored several books, and has been involved in activism for the use of biofuels and the legalization of marijuana. more »

Met a girl that I loved 
In a town way down in Texas
'Neath the stars up above 
She was the sweetest girl 
I ever did see
So I held her in my arms 
And told her of her many charms
And I kissed her 
While the fiddles played 
The 'Bonaparte's Retreat'
And all the world was bright 
As I held her on that night
And I heard her say 
Don't you ever go away
So I held her in my arms 
And told her of her many charms
And 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 
Don't you ever go away
So I held her in my arms 
And told her of her many charms
And I kissed her 
While the guitars played 
The 'Bonaparte's Retreat'
