Oh, My southern had a chance to say goodbye
I met her in sixty-three, she was such 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 looked into her eye, Amelia me hypnotized But in my heart she fell, oh, I got into her spell I can still see her there with the 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
I remember love underneath the stars above I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia night in the Southern land, the girl, she took me by the hand And I was as a little lamb but I became 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 still see her there flowers in her hair
Oh, Amelia, my Southern I can still you, every time I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We had a chance to say goodbye
Just a shooting star, she vanished in the night But I'll always remember her so warm and tender In my she'll always shine so bright Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one time
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can still you every 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 feel you every time I close my Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We never had a chance to say
Oh Amelia, my woman 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 still you
