She's just a hill country girl home from the city   Her pocket's full of plenty of those neon lights   And her mother's smile shines on her youngest child   Though she is just a barroom singer with her father's eyes      The city streets are harder understandin'   It would be easy for the devil to pass by   But she can close her eyes and dream about   The country boy chain of gold and a lullaby   Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight      It's a harvest moon when she's home to count her blessings   She's saved that love from passing though it's now ten years gone by   He is buried in these hills, folded all around her   It still's a heart of hunger with his memories inside      The city streets are harder understandin'   It would be easy for the devil to pass by   But she can close her eyes and dream about   The country boy chain of gold and a lullaby   Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight      In the mornin' she'll move on 'cause it's April on the wing   It puts feathers on her strings and her voice will fly   But that necklace of gold she wears of his protects her soul   From the barroom brawls and the late night drinkers   When the devil's passin' by      The city streets are harder understandin'   It would be easy for the devil to pass by   But she can close her eyes and dream about   The country boy chain of gold and a lullaby   Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight      They will be waltzin' with the angels tonight
