My Sweet Camelia Songtext
von Early James

I left a few sick mistake at the bottom of marrowbone lake
They′re in a bed, made of silt, and a water moccasin quilt
See, she loved to love me not
So I picked them petals with buckshot
A camellia flower wilts, and I don't feel a speck of guilt

Oh, my sweet Camelia
Oh, I hate I had to kill ya
But nothin′ lasts fo' always
Even a prison sentence
Just a matter of days
Just a matter of days


You see I think she thought I cared
All for her and our affair
Well I guess in retrospect
She was such a beautiful wreck
So I pay the price, my dear
Hеre's to a measly twenty-three yеars
I′ve got more beds to make
At the bottom of marrowbone lake

Oh, my sweet Camelia
Oh, I hate I had to kill ya
But nothin′ lasts fo' always
Even a prison sentence
Just a matter of days
Just a matter of days
