Jess Klein - Angelina lyrics

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
