Oh, My southern Never had a chance to say
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a She was there on Barron Street, down in New So wild but yet so tame, she could a hurricane She was only seventeen and Amelia was her
Oh, when I took her for a ride, she got close by my And I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me hypnotized But in my heart she fell, oh, I got pulled her spell I can still see her there with the in her hair
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can still feel you every time I my eyes Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We never had a chance to say
I remember making love the stars above I can feel the summer breeze up in trees That night in the Southern land, the girl, she me by the hand And I was weak as a little but I became a man
was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane We rode all night in the rain 'cross the Poncetrain She had a heart as as fire, burning innocent desire I can still see her with flowers in her hair
Oh, Amelia, my woman I can still you, every time I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We had a chance to say goodbye
Just like a star, she vanished in the night But I'll always her lips so warm and tender In my heart always shine so bright Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can still feel you every time I close my Amelia, where did you run to? We had a chance to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can feel you every time I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can feel you every time I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a chance to say
Oh Amelia, my woman I can feel you
