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