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 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 close by my And when I looked into her eye, Amelia 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 woman I can still feel you time I close my eyes Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We had a chance to say goodbye
I remember making underneath the stars above I can feel the summer breeze up in trees That night in the land, the girl, she took me by the hand And I was weak as a little lamb but I a man
Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like We rode all in the rain 'cross the Lake Poncetrain She had a heart as fine as fire, innocent desire I can still see her with flowers in her hair
Oh, Amelia, my woman I can still you, every time I close my eyes Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We never had a chance to say
Just like a star, she vanished in the night But I'll always her lips so warm and tender In my heart she'll always so bright Sweet Amelia, if I just see her one more time
Oh Amelia, my Southern 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 Southern I can still you every time I close my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can still feel you every 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
