When I Get Down to Charleston
Pickering Pick

When I get down to Charleston
By the jetty on the beach
I'm gonna stand there in the pouring rain

When that old South Carolina sun's
Just within my reach
And I can see my family once again

Well last time I was down here
Oh you should've seen the town
All polished up, shining like the ???

Underneath those canopies
Whispering a frown
??? disappear

Oh Captain, won't you marry us tonight?
Cause we know it all will be alright

So we went to see my baby
My baby, she had gone
And ??? there was much I could do

Sat there on the front porch
And I bowed my head and cry
To start a life and I was through

I was feeling pretty lucky so
I went into a bar
To loosen up my spirits for a while

I swear the place went silent
When I caught the old man's eye
Poured me out a bourbon with a smile

Oh Captain, won't you marry us tonight?
Cause you know it's gonna be alright

??? musician
Said, We're just the good old boys
Striking up the tune, began to play

The bar was overflowing
And the bottles all were dry
Lord, you should have seen those people sway

When I get down to Charleston
By the jetty on the beach
I'm gonna stand there in the pouring rain

When that old South Carolina sun's
Just within my reach
And I can see my family once again

Oh Captain, won't you marry us tonight?
Cause you know it's gonna be alright

Oh Captain, won't you marry us tonight?
Cause you know it's gonna be alright
