Oh, My woman Never had a chance to say
I met her back in sixty-three, she was a mystery She was there on Barron Street, in New Orleans So but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane She was only seventeen and Amelia was her
Oh, I took her for a ride, she got close by my side And when I looked into her eye, kept me hypnotized But in my heart she fell, oh, I got into her spell I can still see her there the flowers in her hair
Oh Amelia, my woman I can still feel you every I close my eyes Sweet Amelia, did you run to? We had a chance to say goodbye
I making love underneath the stars above I can feel the breeze up in magnolia trees That in the Southern 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 like sugarcane 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 there with in her hair
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
Just like a shooting star, she in the night But always remember 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 I close my eyes Amelia, where 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 Sweet Amelia, 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 never had a to say goodbye
Oh Amelia, my woman I can feel you
