lyrics

Amelia Magnolia you been gone for so long
I’m goin back down to Virginia you know thats where I belong
The winter’s so bitter here so awful damn cold
Been better if I never set foot in Ohio

But in my mind you’re standin in the kitchen in a white nightgown
With your barefeet slidin cross the floor to the radio sound

Amelia Magnolia from that Wilson County border line
Virginia singin down to Carolina
Little sister there will come a time
Well the time is right now
Darlin here I’ll make my stand
And I’ll follow you honey
Wont you please take my hand

And so we danced in the kitchen to the Leonard Cohen radio sound
Singin hallelujah together as the sun went down

Amelia Magnolia theres a few things I’ll never forget
The way you yelled “you go straight to hell”
The way you smoked your cigarettes
When the warm emerald summer burned out
Just like your last smoke
And the fall came to the mountains we met up in Roanoke

But a Southwest wind is blowin low and lonesome now
Bringing lofty golden leaves to the hallowed ground
I drove off in the early morning and left behind what we had coming down
Just turned the radio loud, loud, loud

Amelia magnolia I still cant believe you’re gone
Were you all together different we’re you out there gettin stoned
Well the last time I saw ya was that Appalachian town
We were sittin on a front porch swingin as the sun went down
But its so much harder singing hallelujah
It’s so much harder singin halleujah now
