Angel - Shakedown Street Songtext
von Yonder Mountain String Band

If ever I need you dear
I found your love is gone
Sign on the dotted line
And try to take it home

I left my lamp a-burnin′
I left the front door open wide
No sleep come in the mornin'
Wore it out with the tears I cried

Are you gonna be my angel? (Angel)
The Devil′s never gonna let me save my poor soul

Are you gonna be my angel? (Angel)
The Devil's never gonna let me save my poor soul
Are you gonna be my angel? (Angel)
The Devil's never gonna let me save my poor soul


Shovel that shines like silver
Digs a hole in the ground
The gold ring that I gave you
I found it layin′ round

The hole ate up my mind
The hole ate up my heart
Your name′s still on my lips
When I whisper in the dark

Are you gonna be my angel? (Angel)
The Devil's never gonna let me save my poor soul
Are you gonna be my angel? (Angel)
The Devil′s never gonna let me save my poor soul

Are you gonna be my angel? (Angel)
The Devil's never gonna let me save my poor soul
Are you gonna be my angel? (Angel)
The Devil′s never gonna let me save my poor soul
