Mountain Angel
Dolly Parton

Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born Skin as fair as Lily's hair,nas golden as the corn They knew that she was special from the moment she firstncried She was a mountain angel certifiednShe was her momma's baby, she was her daddy's pridenGood at home, at church and school, at everything she triednEverybody's darlin' led a charmed and peaceful lifenThe perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived And ohh, she fell so deeply Ooh,nshe couldn't stop She gave herself to him, milled it completelynHe lifted her so high he let her dropnShe gave up everything for him that mattered in her lifenAll the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wifenShe dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered housenThe mountain angel's sunshine turned to cloudsnThe wicked handsome stranger left the way he camenBroke her heart and broke her mind She never was the samenThey say he was the devilnThat had come to steal her soulnShe never loved another it was toldnThey say she had a babynSome say that it had diednThey it's just as wellnAs it had been the devil's childnThey say good conquers evilnBut here, evil won the prizenSo the mountain angel took to the wildnAnd ooh, she couldn't take itnYears passed and she had long since lost her mindnShe waited for him as her beauty fadednHer parents died from grief before their timenShe tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fitnBeside the tiny grave deep in the woods is where she'd sitnTalking to the child, herself, to him, who knew for surenPossessed they say by Satan's insane lurenHigh a'top the mountain, for years they say she's seennLooking down upon the town where she had once been queennShe'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children playnThey'd see the crazy lady then run awaynThey say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitchnThe lovely mountain angel now thought to be a witchnShe made those wailing mournful soundsnThat you could hear for milesnLong after she laid down upon her baby's grave and diednAnd ooh, her ghost is callin'nShe's waiting for the ones that she adorednThrough spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin'nHer spirit roams these hills forever more The mountain angel's voices ever morenOohh, nOohh,nOohh
