Sweet Amelia |
| Oh amelia, oh amelia |
| A southern woman, a southern woman |
| Never had a chance to say goodbye |
| I met her back in sixty-three, she was such a mystery |
| She was there on barron street, down in new orleans |
| So wild, but yet so tame, she could calm a hurricane |
| She was only seventeen and amelia was her name |
| Oh when i took her for a ride, she got close by my side |
| And when i looked into her eye, amelia kept me hypnotized |
| But in my heart she fell, oh i got pulled into her spell |
| I can still see her there, with the flowers in her hair |
| Oh amelia, my southern woman, oh my woman |
| I can still feel you, feel you, feel you, everytime i close my eyes |
| Sweet amelia, sweet amelia |
| Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye |
| Never heard her say goodbye |
| I remember making love underneath the stars above |
| I can feel the summer breeze up in magnolia trees |
| That night in the southern light, the girl she took me by the hand |
| I was weak as a little lamb, but i became a man |
| Love was pumping through my veins, her lips were sweet like sugarcane |
| We rode all night in the rain, 'cross lake poncetrain |
| She had a heart as fine as fire, burning innocent desire |
| I can still see her there, with flowers in her hair |
| Oh amelia, oh amelia |
| A southern woman, a southern woman |
| I can still feel you, everytime i close my eyes |
| Sweet amelia, sweet amelia |
| Where did you run to, where’d you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye |
| Never want to say goodbye |
| Just like a shooting star, she vanished in the night |
| But i’ll always remember her lips so warm and tender |
| And in my heart she’ll always shine so bright |
| Sweet amelia, if i could just see her one more time |
| Oh amelia, my southern woman |
| A southern woman, |
| I can still feel you, oh i can feel you, everytime i close my eyes, |
| close my eyes |
| Sweet amelia, sweet amelia |
| Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye (never, never, never, never never say |
| goodbye) |
| Oh amelia, oh amelia |
| A southern woman, a southern woman |
| I can still feel you, everytime i close my eyes |
| Sweet amelia, sweet amelia |
| Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye |
| Oh amelia, a southern woman, |
| A southern woman |
| I can still feel you, everytime i close my eyes, from the bottom of my heart |
| Sweet amelia, sweet amelia, |
| Where did you run to Where did you run to We never had a chance to say goodbye |
