Angelina Baker, lived just down the street
And my my heart would set to achin every time we chanced to meet
Although shes now anothers, I still recall the time
When my little Angie swore that shed always be mine
Temper of a fury, Irish born and bred
Skin of cream and roses, and her hair was curly red
She could sing just like a songbird, in a sweet magnolia June
And she could play upon a young mans heart, like sawin on a fiddle tune
Well the ocean is a mistress, once she gets in the veins
And to live a life without her Lord, would drive a man insane
My Angeline grew jealous, said its either her or me
And she cursed my name in a last farewell, as I set out to sea
For ten long years I terried, in every port of call
Tryin to forget that gal of mine, wouldnt do no good at all
So I went to beg her pardon, and make another start
Just to find my Angeline had died of a broken heart

Note: (If you have a banjo player, strum each following note once while the banjo
continues to play)
Im not much good for nothin, my youth long passed away
But if you hand me down my banjo son, I do believe Ill play
