Lyrics
[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] But the gal in danger Yeah de gal in chains But she keep on pushing Would you take her place? She counting up the minutes She counting up the days She's a sweet black angel, woh Not a sweet black slave [Verse 2] Ten little niggers sitting on de wall Her brothers been a falling, falling one by one For a judge they murdered and a judge they stole Now de judge he going to judge her for all that he's worth [Chorus - Outro] Well de gal in danger The gal in chains But she keep on pushing Would you do the same? She counting up the minutes She counting up the days She's a sweet black angel Not a gun toting teacher Not a Red loving school marm Is someone going to free her? Free the sweet black slave Free the sweet black slave Free the sweet black slave Free the sweet black slave
