Opening night, nothing new Atlanta Into the spotlight, one more time Just in time to play To one man and an empty table Was drinking down the pain All he could say was this lady's name (and I heard him call…)
Oh, Camellia won't you take me away Oh, Camellia won't you take me away
After the show, when the room was empty No, he wouldn't go So, I asked him why he called her name It seems she was some magic one night With something for his pain And all she left was her pretty name...
Oh, Camellia won't you take me away (to paradise tropical moon) Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta (oh)
Oh, Camellia won't you take me away (to paradise tropical moon) Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta (say, say, say it again)
Oh, Camellia
Oh, Camellia won't you take me away (paradise tropical moon) Don't you leave me sitting here in Atlanta (in Atlanta) Oh, Camellia won't you take me away (paradise tropical moon) Don't you leave me (don't you leave me, don't you leave me, don't you leave me, don't you leave me in Atlanta) Oh, Camellia won't you take me away (paradise tropical moon)
