Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a sweet little angel baby
I love the way she spread her wings
I've got a sweet little angel baby
And I love the way she spread her wings
And when she wraps her arms around me
She bring me joy and everything
Yeah she do
I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a twenty Dollar bill
I asked my baby for a nickel y'all
And she gave me a twenty Dollar bill
I asked a little girl for a drink of liquor
And she gave me a whiskey still

And if my baby would leave me oh
I believe I would die
And if my baby leave
I believe I would die
And oh, if you quit me
Please tell me the reason why

I've got a sweet little angel baby
I love the way she spreads her wings, oh yeah
I've got a sweet little angel baby
And I love the way she spreads her wings
And when she wraps her arms around me




She bring me joy and everything
Oh yeah
