Angelina

From the day i came to town

Shopkeepers have shown me photos

Old mrs.green sat me down

Told me the tale with her eyes closed

There was a girl of such beauty

She never had to be greedy

She never spoke badly to us

She never spoke that much

And i tried to join them in church

But i'd smelled this stain before

And this time it turned me for the worst

Chorus: charity she always seemed such a martyer yeah

Faith how she plays hard to get

Often i have heard them speak of angelina

Angelina i never once have meet

Angelina i never once have meet

You can imagine the pressure

Being a good girl like me

It's just like being a good boy

With no woman's breast from which you pretend to wean

And old mrs. green would not have it

And my friends at the factory

Neither could they break their habits

Seeing my thoughts as an outsiders luxury

And i tried to hold my chest high

But i cringed when he touched my hair

I cried i'm sorry but don't bother to try

Chorus:

They're out at higgens' barn

Bartering with a bible

And i'm at the washbasin and chopping my hair off

And singing revival

Chorus:

So i stumbled down to the stone house

To grow back immortal

She was smoked in a booth

With a plateful of cigerettes

I laughed, pardon me miss

Are you angelina?

She said good lord

She said honey good guess
