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