Black angel, black angel as you grow up
 I want you to drink from the plenty cup
 My little black angel
 My little black angel

 My little black angel as years go by
 I want you to fly with wings held high
 I want you to live by the justice code
 I want you to burn down freedom's road

 My little black angel
 My little black angel
 My little black angel
 My little black angel

 Lie away lie away sleeping
 Lie away safe in my arms
 Your father your future protects you
 Locks you safe from all harm
 Little black angel I feel so glad
 You'll never have things I never had
 When out of men's hearts all hate is gone
 It's better to die than forever live on

 My little black angel...
