Black angel, black angel   As you grow up   I want you to drink   From the plenty cup      My little black angel   My little black angel      My little black angel as years roll by   I want you to fly with wings held high   I want you to live by the justice code   I want you to burn down freedom's road      My little black angel   My little black angel      Oh lie away, oh lie away sleeping   Lie away safe in my arms   Your father, you future protects you   And locks you safe from all harm      Little black angel I feel so glad   You'll never have things I never had   When out of men's hearts all hate has gone   It's better to die than forever live on      My little black angel   My little black angel
