Robbins, Marty - Camelia Lyrics
From where I stand I can see all the lights in the city
For one man to love one woman so much it's a pity
From where I stand I can see the canteena she goes to
Where she's not supposed to but goes anyway
Camelia keeps tellin' me that's all her young heart is after
I see it differently, I see her there with a man
Camelia keeps lyin', I see, from where I stand
If there was one ounce of man left in me I'd accuse her
What's left of a man knows for certain if I do I'll lose her
It wouldn't do to let her know I know she's lyin'
Or that I've been spyin', she'd never come back
Camelia, I almost despise the ground that you walk on
Constantly tormented knowing you're just partly mine
Camelia, I hate you and love you at the same time

Robbins, Marty Camelia Comments
A great singer that could write and tell a complete story in words and music.
Just wonderful all these old songs ,,
Marty and his good buddy Johnny Cash loved those Mexican horns.
I miss that Spanish type music and of course Marty Robbins.

Probably the finest male country voice ever
Mr Robbins was a giant among giants
Marty Robbins is a better singer than puke lyan or whatever his name is.

marty is simply the best singer ever
Only two, Elvis and Marty.
Agree he and Elvis had very similar quality voices ...and Ray Price
Marie Hardyman please make it three (include Johnny Cash)
Wonderful amazing beautiful voice
I wonder what he and Viki Carr would sound like?

@Virginia Stewart
So....???
So what ? 🙄
Yes, that is what I am asking. Who is Virginia Stewart
Marty had a great voice
I love the Mexican sound !!!!!!
one of marty,s greatest songs ever,
Marty Robbins have good songs.
JUST AS GOOD AS GOLD!!...Thank you soooo much for posting and sharing this "rarely heard anymore" lil' country gem that peaked at #10 in early 1970...I thoroughly enjoyed it!!...(and the sound quality is quite good too!!) Take care! :)
still think this a great song and recoreded by a great singers love it
i think marty is underrated as a songwriter and the sybolism he used. he really only got credit really for his unbelievable voice. interesting he picked the name camilia for this song. camilia...and this is spelled phonetically. camilian...chameoleon(and i'm sure i spelled that wrong as well) but you get my point.
I think if you look at vocal ability and songwriting, it would certainly make Marty one of the best of the last 70yrs.
lovely as always tarquin
i think this was one of his best recordings just love it
coolest voice in the planet.
It was hardly likely to get airplay being that length was it wilmaohman?
cheers tarquin, you are a gentleman. keep up the effort my freind.
