Here's one that's different from the way Crooked Still plays it. I love this one.
Angelina Baker
From Dwight Diller on Elzics Farewell. Key of D
Angelina Baker, lived near the village green
The way I always loved her, beats all you’ve ever seen
Her father was a baker, they called him Uncle Sam
I never can forget her, no matter where I am
Chorus:
Angelina Baker, age of 43
I gave her candy by the peck, but she wont marry me
Angelina Baker, left me here alone
Left me hear to weep a tear and play on the old jaw bone
Said she couldn’t do hard work, because she was not stout
Baked her biscuits every day, poured her coffee out
Chorus
Sixteen horses in my team, the old grey went before
Almost broke Angelina’s heart, to hear the wagons roll
Angelina Baker, Angeline I know
Wish I’d married Angeline, twenty years ago
Chorus
Bought Angeline a brand new dress, neither black nor brown
It was the colour of a stormy cloud, before the rain pour down
Sixteen horses in my team, the leader he was blind
I came close to dying when they sold my Angeline
Chorus
Angelina Baker. Alternative words
Angelina Baker, age of 23
Prettiest little girl in the whole wide world, but she won’t marry me
Angelina Baker, age of 33
I got down on bended knee, the day she married me
Angelina Baker, age of 43
Chidren playing round her feet, and a banjo on her knee
Angelina Baker, prettiest little girl alive
She says that she’s twenty three, but I know she’s forty five.
