Sweet Little Angel

(album: A Man And The Blues - 1968)

I've got a sweet little angel
And I love the way she spreads her wings
Yes I got a sweet little angel
And I love the way she spreads her wings
Yes when she spreads her wings around me
You know I get joy in everything

I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a twenty dollar bill
Yes asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a twenty dollar bill
I asked her for a little drink of liquor
My baby gave me a whiskey still

Yes if my baby should quit me
Lord I do believe I would die
Yes if my baby my baby should quit me
I do believe I would die
Yes if you done love me little angel
Please please tell me the reason why
I just got to have a little more
