Oh, My southern 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 but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane She was only seventeen and was her name
Oh, when I took her for a ride, she got close by my And when I looked into her eye, Amelia kept me 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 woman I can feel you every time I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a to say goodbye
I remember making love the stars above I can the summer breeze up in magnolia trees That night in the land, the girl, she took me by the hand And I was weak as a little 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 with 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 star, she vanished in the night But I'll always remember her lips so and tender In my heart she'll always shine so Sweet Amelia, if I just see her one more time
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 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 time I close my eyes Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We never had a chance to say
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can still you
