Yonder Mountain String Band - Angel lyrics

If ever I need you dear

I find your love is gone

Sign on the dotted line

And try to take it home

I left my lamp a-burning

I left the front door open wide

No sleep come the morning

Wore it out with the tears I cried

Chorus:

Are you gonna be my angel?

The Devil's never gonna let me save my poor soul

[ Chorus (x2) ]

Shovel that shines like silver

Digs a hole in the ground

The gold ring that I gave you

I found it laying 'round

The hole ate up my mind

The hole ate up my heart

Your name's still on my lips

When I whisper in the dark

[ Chorus (x4) ]
