lyrics

When Captain Martin tipped his hat
The blooms fell out and tumbled down
Onto the shore, and you looked north
They tumbled out onto the shore

Close your eyes, give me a reason
For my living and your troth
My love, my love, blooms out of season
Is this the Eden that you saw?

When Captain Martin tipped his hat
The Ashley River swallowed up
The rare camellia from the north
The beauty and the labor's worth
