FALLEN ANGEL
(Marijohn Wilkin / Wayne P. Walker / Webb Pierce)


Webb Pierce - 1960
Goldie Hill - 1961

Also recorded by: Nat Stuckey






As recorded by WEBB PIERCE:

She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall

Last night I saw an angel, the one I once called mine
The hand that wore my wedding band held a glass of wine
I took her love for granted, I wronged her night and day
I drove my angel from me and now she's gone astray

She's just a fallen angel, but I don't blame her for it all
She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall

(Instrumental Break)

So many times she told me she couldn't take much more
So many times I laughed at her and walked right out the door
I wasn't worthy of her and now my angel's gone
The Devil took her from me and claimed her for his own

She's just a fallen angel, but I don't blame her for it all
She's just a fallen angel and I'm the fool who made her fall


********************


Female version as recorded by GOLDIE HILL:

If I'm a fallen angel, you can't blame me for it all
If I'm a fallen angel, you're the one who made me fall

Another fallen angel, that's what you call me now
Because you see me out each night breaking every vow
You took my love for granted, you're on me constantly
And that's the only way that I can hide my misery

If I'm a fallen angel, you can't blame me for it all
If I'm a fallen angel, you're the one who made me fall

(Instrumental Break)

So many times I told you I couldn't take much more
Do you remember how you laughed and walked right out the door
The only way that I can stop my tears before they start
Is go the way of other girls who have a broken heart

If I'm a fallen angel, you can't blame me for it all
If I'm a fallen angel, you're the one who made me fall
