Camellia - Steep Canyon Rangers

Going down to the river bank

Half past drunk on wine

Camellia and the cat tails swayin'

All around me

Her lips drip sweet like honeydew

Her voice sings like a silver chime

Love feeling washing all over me

Baby I’m drowning

But to have our hearts together

There ain’t nothing that I wouldn’t do

I’d even rope down the morning sun

If you asked me to

Sweet Camellia I’d like to steal you

Away from all the troubles in your life

Through the vines I see you climbing

Camellia what’s it gonna take to make you mine

It’s a long ride down from Pontiac

Through the mud sleet and the grime

Make that push across the Ottawa River

On down the border line

Gonna feel just like the delta

When you put your little hand in mine

Sit back in that bucket seat baby

And settle in for the ride

We can chase down forgiveness

We can sail across the sea

We can go where they’re never gonna find us

Sweet camellia you and me

Give the jury a guilty plea

Ain’t no deal that I wouldn’t make

Just to fill this fantasy
