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