Western America
“Kill me or I’ll die with love... For sweet, Camilla May”
c. 1870, San Francisco Lyric Song Sheet: “ALL AMONG THE ROSES, OR, SWEET CAMILLA MAY”, Published by Bell and Company, San Francisco, CA, Very Fine.
Lyric Song sheet, measuring 9” x 4”, “Published and sold Wholesale and Retail by BELL & COMPANY, General Publishers of Songs and Ballads; Booksellers, Stationers and Periodical Agents, No. 639 Kearny Street, San Francisco.” Minor folds, tone and dampstaining, overall nice. The lyrics are printed in black down the center of the page with a decorative border surrounding. The chorus, though only printed once in its entirety, is repeated three times as follows: “All among the roses, making sweet proposes-- Lovely, laughing, soul bewitching. Sweet Camilla May: Captivating, aggravating, Never tired of play-- Flirting like a little birdie, Happy, light and gay; Kill me or I’ll die with love For sweet, Camilla May.”
