Amelia Lyrics

John Tams Amelia

the work was hard and wages low
amelia – where you bound to?
now the time to roll and go
across the western ocean
oh amelia – where you bound to?


Chorus
amelia – where you bound to?
amelia – where you bound to?

I’ve been in the army and I’ve worked on the farm
amelia – where you bound to?
all I’ve got to show is the muscle in my arm
across this western ocean
oh amelia – where you bound to?

birds in the air and fishes in the sea
amelia – where you bound to?
a red – haired woman made a mess out of me
across this western ocean
oh amelia – where you bound to?

if I had the wings of noah’s dove
amelia – where you bound to?
i’d fly back home to the one I love
across this western ocean
oh, amelia – where you bound to?

if there’s just one thing that does me pain
amelia – where you bound to?
that’s to never see your fair face again
across this western ocean
oh amelia – where you bound to?
