I once had a little angel, and she had everything but wings
Now I once had me a little angel, and she had everything but wings
I didn't mind the wings so much because she could swing low, sweet chariot and sing
But I woke up one mornin' to find my angel had gone away
And I woke up one mornin', find my angel had gone to stay
I wouldn't hated her leavin' me so much but she carried my sweet chariot away
Well thent' is trouble in this holler, with the Devil standing by my side
And it's trouble in this holler, with the Devil standing by my side
I'm gonna get me another little angel, and cross over on that other side
Well I have so much trouble, I can hardly get along
I've had so much trouble, I can hardly get along
I thought I had me a good woman, but she done packed up and gone
