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