"Angel On My Shoulder" lyrics
There's an angel on my shoulder
And a gun in my right hand
Be reachin for your pistol, boy
You'll see the promised land
For you've taken my sweet Amy
I'll kill you where you stand
.44'll make good and sure
You never breathe again
Just like a mountain flower
Our love bloomed in the spring
But Winter's 'round the corner
I can see the darkness that it brings
Her lover lay down in a holler
Beneath a blanket of West Virginia snow
Shot through his chest in my cold navy
He won't feel her sweet love anymore
Shot him without thinking
I've taken another soul
Singing with the angels
As he walks down the streets of gold
That bastard took my woman
And now he'll forever pay
Cheap thrills and moonshine stills
Will take my blues away
Just like a mountain flower
Our love bloomed in the spring
But Winter's 'round the corner
I can see the darkness that it brings
Her lover lay down in a holler
Beneath a blanket of West Virginia snow
Shot through his chest in my cold navy
He won't feel her sweet love anymore
And a gun in my right hand
Be reachin for your pistol, boy
You'll see the promised land
For you've taken my sweet Amy
I'll kill you where you stand
.44'll make good and sure
You never breathe again
Just like a mountain flower
Our love bloomed in the spring
But Winter's 'round the corner
I can see the darkness that it brings
Her lover lay down in a holler
Beneath a blanket of West Virginia snow
Shot through his chest in my cold navy
He won't feel her sweet love anymore
Shot him without thinking
I've taken another soul
Singing with the angels
As he walks down the streets of gold
That bastard took my woman
And now he'll forever pay
Cheap thrills and moonshine stills
Will take my blues away
Just like a mountain flower
Our love bloomed in the spring
But Winter's 'round the corner
I can see the darkness that it brings
Her lover lay down in a holler
Beneath a blanket of West Virginia snow
Shot through his chest in my cold navy
He won't feel her sweet love anymore
