Beaucatcher from Asheville by Queen Bee and the Honeylovers

In the land of a lingering springtime
A lady’s pining heart is longing for her beau (“catcher!”)
A cavalier of true and noble heart, a gentleman indeed
Who never begs for kisses, or acts with jealousy

So to the mountain, to take in the sunset
Her every charm intent on making him her own
The magic mood is set, the trail is clear,
The autumn night is still
And so, she bares her soul to him, as foolish lovers will

Said Charlotte to her one beau
“Oh won’t you let me love you?
My heart has been waiting all these years
I’m tired of the craving, The nights anticipating
For you just to let me hold you near”

“Sweet Charlotte! just the thrill of you
Would satisfy most men, it’s true
But I cannot give the love you crave
It’s Henry that has got my heart,
And this he cannot share
Sweet Charlotte, your dreams can go nowhere”
