Oh, My woman had a chance to say goodbye
I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a She was there on Street, down in New Orleans So wild but yet so tame, she could a hurricane She was only seventeen and Amelia was her
Oh, when I took her for a ride, she got by my side And when I into her eye, Amelia kept 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 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 summer breeze up in trees 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 through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane We rode all in the rain 'cross the Lake Poncetrain She had a as fine as fire, burning innocent desire I can still see her with flowers in her hair
Oh, Amelia, my Southern I can still feel you, every time I my eyes Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We never had a to say goodbye
Just like a shooting star, she in the night But always remember her lips so warm and tender In my heart she'll shine so bright Amelia, if I could just see her one more time
Oh Amelia, my woman I can still feel you every time I my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my woman I can still feel you every time I my eyes Amelia, where did you run to? We never had a chance to say
Oh Amelia, my woman I can still feel you 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 you
