Sweet Amelia

Maidens all within a ring
Laws with a man to marry it
Sweet Amelia let us sing
Lord I wish her name was Harriet

Lovely far beyond comparison
We have never seen her like
Loved and lost by Charlie Harrison
Ebenezer Jones and Dick Van Dyke

Sweet Amelia's hair is golden
Sweetly floating, sweetly folding
Saw it through the window as I passed
Sweetly hung at quarter mast

Drips she lightly o'er the lea
Sounding like a herd of elephants
Birds and flowers turn to see
Mud is what I call irrelevance

Lovely far beyond comparison
In a most ethereal way
Loved and lost by Charlie Harrison
Doubtless she began with Henry Clay

Sweet Amelia's eyes are shining
Ever laughing, never pining
You should see her laughing, fit to die
With a cinder in her eye

Wind we now a daisy chain
Make it out of steel and chromium
Our Amelia's here again
Listening to this encomium

Lovely far beyond comparison
Fairer we shall never see
Loved and lost by Charlie Harrison
Charlie was the one she stole from me

Sweet Amelia's heart is glowing
Suitors coming, suitor's going
If she'd make her mind up fair and square
We could solve the traffic problem there
