Geraldine Fibbers - Pet Angel lyrics

rate me

The moon is so full, an owl winks just once

You offer to dance with me

You cradle my body in safety and warmth

And a sweet wind blows through the trees

Step to a one and a two and a three

Step to a four, five and six

Spin your little girl three times on her love

And your lover picks up sticks

To you, to you, your love sticks to you

Like you wished for a million times

The skies are parting, the clouds fill with rain

And a lonesome church bell chimes

The rain cracks the sky like tears of joy

The rain makes mischief in her hair

Your love needs a comb, won't you please take me home

For a towel and some dry things are there?

I tripped in my chill, got a hand from ol' Bill

The man with the porcupine face

You grabbed my little wrist and you gave it a kiss

You said, "Old Bill'd never take your place"

To you, to you, straight home to you

Take her to your spot on the map

Give a taste of your love and a taste of your strap

Give her someone to answer to

You are my sunshine, I pull the drapes shut tight

It's curtains for you, goodbye

The cat's in the bag, the bag's in the river

The river makes me cry

Your hands, my heart, what's so hard about that?

Nothin' 'cept I can't be your wife

I loved that boy till death do us part

Till the evening I took his life

To you, to you, straight up to you

Into your charitable hands

Take care of him, Jesus, I know you'll do what's best

Lay his wicked soul to rest

Take care of him, Jesus

I know you'll do what's best

Lay his wicked soul to rest
