Angeline The Baker - Crooked Still

Angeline the baker, lives on the village green

The way I always loved her, beats all you’ve ever seen

Angeline the baker, Angeline I know

Should have married Angeline, twenty years ago

Angeline the baker, age of 43

Fed her sugar candy, but she still won’t marry me

Angeline the baker, Angeline I know

Should have married Angeline, just twenty years ago

Her father was a baker, his name was Uncle Sam

I never can forget her, no matter where I am

She said couldn’t do hard work, because she is not stout

Baked the biscuits every day and poured the coffee out

Angeline the baker, age of 43

Fed her sugar candy, but she still won’t marry me

Angeline the baker, Angeline I know

Should have married Angeline, just twenty years ago

I bought Angeline a brand new dress, neither black nor brown

It was the color of a stormy skies, before the rain came down

Sixteen horses in my team, the leader he was blind

I dreamed that I was dying, I saw my Angeline

Angeline the baker, age of 43

Fed her sugar candy, but she still won’t marry me

Angeline the baker, Angeline I know

Should have married Angeline, just twenty years ago
