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