Angeline the Baker

Stephen Foster, arr. by Crooked Still

[[ in the key of D, mostly just D and G, but toss in some A for flavour ]]

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

Should have married Angeline, twenty years ago

{refrain}

Angeline the baker, age of 43

Fed her sugar candy, but she still won't marry me

Angeline the baker, Angeline I know

Should have married Angeline, just twenty years ago

Her father was a baker, his name was Uncle Sam

I never can forget her, no matter where I am

She said couldn’t do hard work, because she is not stout

Baked the biscuits every day and poured the coffee out

{refrain}

I bought Angeline a brand new dress, neither black nor brown

It was the colour of a stormy skies, before the rain came down

Sixteen horses in my team, the leader he was blind

I dreamed that I was dying, I saw my Angeline

{refrain}
