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