Sweet Black Angel Lyrics

Old darlin', sweet black angel
Love the way she's spreads her wings
Old darlin', sweet black angel
Love the way she's spreads her wings
When she spreads her wings over me
It brings joy in everything

If my sweet black angel was to quit me
I believe that I would die
If my sweet black angel was to quit me
I believe that I would die
You know I love you, black angel
Ever since you have been my friend
Yes I do, man!

Give my sweet black angel a nickel
And shе gives me a $10 bill
Give my sweet black angеl a nickel
She gives me a $10 bill
She gives me a $10 bill, and a small drink of nicotil

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
