Got a sweet black angel Got a pick-up girl Got a sweet black angel Up on the wall She ain’t no singer She ain’t no star
But she sure good enough Yeah, she move so fast She’s a guardian angel She’s a God in chains But she keep on pushin’ Will you take her place? Count out the days
She count out the dead She’s a smart black angel Not a sweet black slave Take a little negra Get it on your wall Her brother been calling Call one by one The judge say murder
And the judge say court The judge can judge us For all we’re worth She’s a guardian angel God in chains But she keep on pushin’ Would you do it the same?
She can’t do nothing But count out death She’s a sweet black angel Not a gun in tail Not a red hot school marm Ain’t someone gonna free her Not a sweet black slave Not a sweet black slave
