From the day I came to town   Shopkeepers have shown me photos   Old Mrs.Green sat me down   Told me the tale with her eyes closed   There was a girl of such beauty   She never had to be greedy   She never spoke badly to us   She never spoke that much   And I tried to join them in church   But I'd smelled this stain before   And this time it turned me for the worst      Chorus: Charity she always seemed such a martyer yeah   Faith how she plays hard to get   Often I have heard them speak of Angelina   Angelina I never once have meet   Angelina I never once have meet      you can imagine the pressure    Being a good girl like me   It's just like being a good boy   With no woman's breast from which you pretend to wean   And old Mrs. Green would not have it   And my friends at the factory    Neither could they break their habits   Seeing my thoughts as an outsiders luxury   And I tried to hold my chest high   But I cringed when he touched my hair   I cried I'm sorry but don't bother to try      Chorus:      They're out at Higgens' barn    Bartering with a bible   And I'm at the washbasin and chopping my hair off   And singing revival      Chorus:      So I stumbled down to the stone house   To grow back immortal   She was smoked in a booth    With a plateful of cigerettes   I laughed, pardon me miss   Are you Angelina?   She said good lord   She said honey good guess
