Thank you
Pretty as an angel, from the day that she was born
Skin as fair as lilies, hair as golden as the corn
They knew that she was special, from the moment she first cried
She was a mountain angel certified
She was her mama's baby, she was her daddy's pride
Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried
Everybody's darlin' she led a charmed and peaceful life
The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived
And oh, uh-oh-oh, she fell so deeply
And oh, uh-oh-oh, she couldn't stop
She gave herself to him, milled it completely
He lifted her so high, he let her drop
She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life
All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife
She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house
The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds
The wicked, handsome stranger well, he just left the way he came
He broke her heart and broke her mind
She never was the same
They say he was the devil
And he had come to steal her soul
And she never loved another, it was told
They say she had a baby
And some say that it had died
They say it's just as well
As it had been the devil's child
They say good conquers evil
But here, evil won the prize
And so the mountain angel took to the wild
And oh, uh-oh-oh, she couldn't take it
Years passed and she had long since lost her mind
She waited for him as her beauty faded
And her parents died from grief before their time
She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit
Beside the tiny grave, deep in the woods is where she'd sit
Talking to the baby, to herself, who knew for sure
Possessed, they say, by Satan's insane lure
High atop the mountain, for years they say she's seen
Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen
She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play
They'd see that crazy lady, then run away
They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch
The once lovely mountain angel, was now thought to be a witch
She made those wailing mournful sounds, that you could hear for miles
Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died
'Cause oh, uh-oh-oh, she couldn't take it
And she's waiting for the ones that she adored
Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin'
Her spirit roams these hills forevermore
The mountain angel's voices ever more
You can hear ger singing out
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh thank you
Oh I told you there was gonna be sadness
You just sat there and suffer through it didn't you?
I'm proud of you
But I know I heard some of you out there crying with me
There was you doing that, ooh, ooh, ooh
Was that you? Let's do it again
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh come on, you are sorry or not, get that on louder
It'll be just like therapy, let's get a good cry
Come on, we'll just do a couple of 'em just like that
You wanna practice once more here we go
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
See that feels good don't it?
It feels just like going to therapy
Only thing better than a good cry is a good laugh
See it ain't gonna charge you nothing though
Yeah, you'll have to pay a hundred dollars for that
If you went to poly-cullum psychiatrist
Hadn't been in a while, anyways
I thought I ain't needed to go
But then I was good
See I like a good laugh and a good cry
Like to say I ain't charge you nothing
Except what you already paid for your ticket
And I know that was a plenty
But I need the money
You know how much it cost to make a person look as cheap
Anyway I appreciate that, and I know I feel better after a good cry
