Oh, My woman Never had a 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 calm a She was only seventeen and Amelia was her
Oh, when I her for a ride, she got close by my side And when I looked into her eye, Amelia me hypnotized But in my heart she fell, oh, I got pulled into her I can see her there with the flowers in her hair
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
I remember love underneath the stars above I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia That night in the Southern land, the girl, she 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 night in the rain 'cross the Poncetrain She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent I can see her there with flowers in her hair
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
Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the But I'll always remember her so warm and tender In my heart always shine so bright Sweet Amelia, if I could just see her one more
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
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
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can feel you every time I close my eyes Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We had a chance to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my Southern I can still you
