I got a sweet little angel, I love the way she spread her wings 
Yes, I got a sweet little angel, I love the way she spread her wings 
Yes, when she spread her wings around me, I get joy in everything 
You know I asked my baby for a nickel, and she gave me a twenty dollar bill 
Oh, yes, I asked my baby for a nickel, and she gave me a twenty dollar bill 
Whoa, you know I asked her for a little drink of liquor, and she gave me a whiskey still' 
Ah yes, asked my baby to quit me, well, I do believe I will die 
Yes, I asked my baby to quit me, well, I do believe I will die 
'Cause, if you don't love me little angel, please, tell me the reason why
