Angelina Baker
[Verse 1]
I used to work, I used to sing so happy all the day
Till Angelina Baker came and stole my heart away
Angelina Baker, she's the girl I love so true
Oh Angelina Baker, I would give my heart to you

[Chorus]
Angelina Baker, age of fourty-three
Fed her sugar candy, but she wouldn't marry me
Angelina Baker, Angeline I know
Should've married Angeline twenty years ago

[Verse 2]
Angelina Baker lives on the village green
Way I always loved her bеats all you've ever seen
Angеline is handsome, Angeline is tall
She broke her little ankle dancing in the hall

[Verse 3]
Angelina liked the boys as far as she could see
I waited by her window, but she never looked at me
I bought her pounds of cherries and a ribbon for her hair
But when I went to find her, Angelina wasn't there

[Chorus]
Angelina Baker, age of fourty-three
Fed her sugar candy, but she wouldn't marry me
Angelina Baker, Angeline I know
Should've married Angeline twenty years ago
[Verse 4]
I've seen my Angelina in the springtime and the fall
I've seen her in the cornfield and I've seen her at the ball
And every time I met her, she was smiling like the sun
But now I'm left to weep a tear 'cause Angelina's gone

[Verse 5]
Early in the morning, on a lovely summer's day
I asked for Angelina and they said she'd gone away
I don't know where to find her 'cause I don't know where she's gone
She's left me here to weep a tear and lay on the old jawbone

[Chorus]
Angelina Baker, age of fourty-three
Fed her sugar candy, but she wouldn't marry me
Angelina Baker, Angeline I know
Should've married Angeline twenty years ago

[Verse 6]
Bought Angeline a brand new dress, neither black nor brown
Color of a stormy sky before the rain came down
Sixteen horses in my team, the leader he was blind
I dreamt that I was dying, I saw my Angeline

[Chorus]
Angelina Baker, age of fourty-three
Fed her sugar candy, but she wouldn't marry me
Angelina Baker, Angeline I know
Should've married Angeline twenty years ago
Angelina Baker, age of fourty-three
Fed her sugar candy, but she wouldn't marry me
Angelina Baker, Angeline I know
Should've married Angeline twenty years ago
Should've married Angeline twenty years ago
