Black angel, black angel As you grow up I want you to drink From the plenty cup My little black angel My little black angel as years roll by I want you to fly with wings held high I want you to live by the justice code I want you to burn down freedom's road My little black angel Oh lie away, oh lie away sleeping Lie away safe in my arms Your father, you future protects you And locks you safe from all harm Little black angel I feel so glad You'll never have things I never had When out of men's hearts all hate has gone It's better to die than forever live on My little black angel
