Angelina

She had his picture in a locket Her hands were tremblin' on the wheel When Jimmy went in for one last robbery With a .45 of cold blue steel Told the clerk," Don't try to be a hero" But that kid put up a fight And one stray bullet through their windshield Took Angelina's life The cops found a crowd of people And a bullet hole in the clerk Jimmy in the car, Angelina in his arms He was whisperin' to her Chorus "Angelina you can close your eyes You'll spend tonight in paradise, my pretty Angelina Oh Angelina, go on across that mighty river Someday we'll be together my pretty Angelina" I was a guard there on the cellblock Maximum security And guilty men are all the same They all think they should be free But Jimmy Nichols, he was different He said,"To die is to gain For I have made my peace with Jesus And tonight I break these chains" Jimmy smiled when the preacher came in He said," Friend lead the way I got an angel waitin' on me Tonight I'm gonna see her And I can finally say" (Second Chorus) "Oh Angelina, girl open up your eyes We'll spend tonight in paradise my pretty Angelina Oh Angelina, I've come across that mighty river Now we'll always be together, my pretty Angelina" Instrumental (Repeat Second Chorus)
