Angeline

Oh Angeline, did you hear me singing,

Singing for love in the heat of the night

Oh Angeline, did you hear me singing

And crying your name in the hot spotlight.

It really don’t matter, if you leave in the morning

It really don’t matter, if you never come home

It really don’t matter, if you take to another

It really don’t matter, if you leave me alone.

Angeline, did you hear I’ve been drinking

Oh Angeline, did you hear how I cried

Angeline, tell me what were you thinking

When you saw me playing in the cold moonlight.

It really don’t matter, if you leave in the morning

It really won’t matter, if you never come home

It really won’t matter, if you take to another

It really won’t matter, if you leave me alone

It’s only love, sweet love

It’s only love, sweet love.

Oh Angeline, will you always be near me?

Angeline, will you always wear white?

Angeline, I don’t want to be lonely

Oh Angeline, please stay here tonight.

Angeline, with your taste for trouble

Angeline, with your hair shining bright

Angeline, with your talk about struggle

Angeline, please stay here tonight.

It really won’t matter, if you leave in the morning

It really won’t matter, if you never come home

It really won’t matter, if you take to another

It really won’t matter, if you leave me alone

It’s only love, sweet love

It’s only love, sweet love.
