Angeline

She left home with my last name

Left her mark tattooed on the back of my brain

Oh yeah, she was a friend of mine

Same old story you've heard a thousand times

I had nickels, that girl wanted dimes

Oh yeah, she was my Valentine

If you see that girl out walking your way

Throw your hand up and tell her I said, "Hey."

Oh yeah, come on home

Oh Angeline, where have you gone?

Oh Angeline, where have you gone? Alright

She had enough money to get herself outta town

Next thing I know, she is New Orleans bound

Oh Lord, come back home

I stay home and try to make ends meet

She's turning tricks down on Royal Street

Oh Lord, she's long gone

If you see that girl out walking the wrong way

Turn her around and send her back my way, oh yeah

Come on back home

Oh Angeline, where have you gone?

Oh Angeline, I wrote you this song

Oh Angeline, where have you gone? (Oh Angeline)

Oh Angeline, oh yeah, right

She ain't got nothing but the clothes on her back, I know

She ain't got nobody to tell her Where she needs to go

She ain't got no friends, no family, nowhere, no how

She ain't got nothing, that girl ain't got nothing, oh no no, no

Oh Angeline (Angeline), where have you gone?

Oh Angeline (I'm heartbroken, lonesome, oh), I wrote you this song

Oh Angeline (I'm never gonna see you), where have you gone? (Oh)

Oh Angeline,(Never gonna be like it was before, no

Oh, come on home now)

Ooo

Oh, come on home, oh yeah...
