Angeline the Baker

Angeline the Baker lives on the village green
The way I always loved her beats all you’ve ever seen.
Angeline the Baker, Angeline I know,
I should have married Angeline twenty years ago.

Angeline the Baker, age of forty-three
Bought her sugar candy but she still won’t marry me.
Angeline the Baker, Angeline I know,
I should have married Angeline twenty years ago.

Angeline can’t work too hard because she is not stout,
She bakes her bisquits every day and pours the coffee out.
Angeline the Baker, Angeline I know,
I should have married Angeline twenty years ago.

Met her in the moonlight down by the old mill dam,
Never will forget her, no matter where I am.
Angeline the Baker, Angeline I know,
I should have married Angeline twenty years ago.

Showed Angeline my tractor, showed Angeline my plow
She told me I could win her love, but wouldn’t tell me how.
Angeline the Baker, Angeline I know,
I should have married Angeline twenty years ago.

Bought Angeline a new dress, neither black nor brown
The color of the stormy sky before the rain comes down.
Angeline the Baker, Angeline I know,
I should have married Angeline twenty years ago.
