Oh, My southern had a chance 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 a hurricane 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 into her eye, kept me hypnotized But in my heart she fell, oh, I got pulled 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 had a chance to say goodbye
I remember making love the stars above I can feel the summer breeze up in 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 my veins, her lips were sweet 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 woman I can still you, every time I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a chance to say
Just like a shooting star, she in the night But I'll always remember her lips so warm and In my heart always shine so bright Amelia, if I could just see her one more time
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can still feel you every I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my woman 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 Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a chance to say
Oh Amelia, my woman I can feel you
