I got a sweet little angel'

I love the way she spread her wings

Yes' I got a sweet little angel'

I love the way she spread her wings

Yes' when she spread her wings around me'

I get joy in most everything

You know I asked my baby for a nickel'

And she gave me a twenty dollar bill

Oh' yes' I asked my baby for a nickel'

And she gave me a twenty dollar bill

You know I asked her for a little drink of liquor'

And she gave me a whiskey still!

Ah yes' asked my baby to quit me'

Well' I do believe I will die

Yes' I asked my baby to quit me'

Well' I do believe I will die

'Cause' if you don't love me little angel'

Please' tell me the reason why.
