Got a sweet little angel
I love the way he spread his wings
Whoah, hoa hoa, got a sweet little angel baby
I love the way he spreads his wings
Oh, when he spreads his wings around me
I get joy and everything

I asked my baby for a nickel
And he gave me a $20 bill
Oh oh, I asked my baby for a nickel
And he gave me a $20 bill
Now, I ask him to buy a little drink of liquor (that was when I was drinkin')
And he gave me a, gave me a whiskey still

If my baby, my baby should quit me
I do believe, I do believe I would die
Hey, Ohh ho ho
My baby, my baby, my baby, ....
Yes, if he didn't love me, sweet angel
Whoah, tell me the reason why
(Play the blues! Play the blues!)

If my baby, my baby should quit me
Whoah, I do believe I would die
My baby, my baby, my baby, ....
Hey, I do believe, I do believe I would die
And if he didn't love me, sweet angel
Whoah, tell me, yeah, tell me,
Whoah, tell me, hey, tell me,
Whoah, tell me, hey, tell me,
Whoah, oh, oh, oh, tell me the reason why
