Thread Name: Possible song challenge?
Subject: RE: Possible song challenge?
I hope this works out - I've never tried HTML before.

Jamelia, Jamelia
When will you come home?
Jamelia, Jamelia
I'm waiting by the parlor phone
You are just a young girl, barely seventeen
The world is now your oyster, but you're still your Daddy's queen
I can't blame you for leaving
I know you had to roam
But Jamelia, Jamelia
When will you come home?

Jamelia, Jamelia
When will you come home?
Jamelia, Jamelia
It's so lonely when you're gone
Your Uncle Joe is dieing, Aunt Ethel's slipping fast
Cousin Lou is shooting through, who knows how long he'll last?
Amarilla's fading
Little Willie's feeling low
Jamelia, Jamelia
When will you come home?

BRIDGE:
I'd be so glad to see you
I'd cook your favorite dishes
Some couscous and some cole slaw
And, of course, your favorite fishes
A good sized cod, by the grace of God
A mackerel or a tuna
A muskie or a blowfish
If it brings you to us soona'
We won't ask for your autograph
On your picture before you go
Jamelia, Jamelia
When will you come home?
