SWEET BLACK ANGEL
|
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
|
aka Black Angel
|
|
Got a sweet black angel,
|
Got a pin up girl,
|
Got a sweet black angel,
|
Up upon my wall.
|
Well, she ain't no singer
|
And she ain't no star,
|
But she sure talk good,
|
And she move so fast.
|
But the gal in danger,
|
Yeah, de gal in chains,
|
But she keep on pushin',
|
Would ya take her place?
|
She countin' up de minutes,
|
She countin' up de days,
|
She's a sweet black angel, woh,
|
Not a sweet black slave.
|
Ten little niggers
|
Sittin' on de wall,
|
Her brothers been a fallin',
|
Fallin' one by one.
|
For a judge they murdered
|
And a judge they stole,
|
Now de judge he gonna judge her
|
For all dat he's worth.
|
Well de gal in danger,
|
De gal in chains,
|
But she keep on pushin'
|
Would you do the same?
|
She countin' up de minutes,
|
She countin' up de days,
|
She's a sweet black angel,
|
Not a gun toting teacher,
|
Not a Red lovin' school mom,
|
Ain't someone gonna free her,
|
Free de sweet black slave,
|
Free de sweet black slave.
