He's up Against the Angels Now

歌詞

From a real rural district two farmers came to town One was bold Sam Jenkins the other was Billy Brown While Sam went out in the city, while Billy to his room did pass While Sam blewed in his money and Bill blew out the gas So he's up with the angels now With a great big crown upon his brow They busted down the door, Billy was lying on the floor He's up with the angels now Oh, Mary was a lovely girl, she had to work each day She had to rise so early to have breakfast on the way Man the fire would not burn the wood was wet and green So Mary thought she'd light it with a can of gasoline So she's up with the angels now With a great big crown upon her brow Mary used the gasoline and she's never more been seen She's up with the angels now A man with lots of money went broke in the wall street crash He couldn't borrow a dollar, he lost his ready cash He went right to the drugstore and not a word he said Next morning when they found him, they found him dead in bed So he's up with the angels now With a great big crown upon his brow When he left the drug store well he never returned no more He's up with the angels now So he's up with the angels now With a great big crown upon his brow When he left the drug store well he never returned no more He's up with the angels now
