Marty Robbins - Angelina lyrics

rate me

We were children who played<br />

On the backstreets of border towns<br />

And we dreamed of the day when we might run away<br />

To where the good life was found<br />

<br />

I remember the night<br />

When I asked you to be my girl<br />

Now I feel so ashamed of the promise I made<br />

When I said I would give you the world<br />

<br />

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes<br />

I believe I could change the world with you by my side<br />

My Angelina, give me courage to try<br />

I believe in the man I see in my Angelina's eyes<br />

<br />

Seems like nothin' worked out<br />

Quite the way it was planned to be<br />

Oh, the dreams that we chased when we came to this place<br />

Are like nightmares to me<br />

<br />

Workin' day after day<br />

In the noise of the factory<br />

And the money's no good but if I say a word<br />

Immigration will take me away<br />

<br />

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes<br />

I believe I could change the world with you by my side<br />

My Angelina, give me courage to try<br />

I believe in the man I see in my Angelina's eyes<br />

<br />

If I hadn't been drunk<br />

I would never have hit that man<br />

But the whiskey and I saw the look in his eye<br />

When he asked Angelina to dance<br />

<br />

Now they're takin' me south<br />

To a jail down in border town<br />

But it won't be for long, Angelina, be strong<br />

Keep believin' our dreams will work out<br />

<br />

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes<br />

I believe I could change the world with you by my side<br />

My Angelina, give me courage to try<br />

I believe in the man I see in my Angelina's eyes<br />

<br />

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes<br />

I believe I could change the world with you by my side<br />

<br />

My Angelina, give me courage to try<br />

My Angelina, give me courage to try<br />

My Angelina, give me courage to try<br />
