Mountain Angel - Live

Thank you
 ♪
 Pretty as an angel, from the day that she was born
 Skin as fair as lilies, hair as golden as the corn
 They knew that she was special, from the moment she first cried
 She was a mountain angel certified
 She was her mama's baby, she was her daddy's pride
 Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried
 Everybody's darlin' she led a charmed and peaceful life
 The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived
 And oh, uh-oh-oh, she fell so deeply
 And oh, uh-oh-oh, she couldn't stop
 She gave herself to him, milled it completely
 He lifted her so high, he let her drop
 She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life
 All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife
 She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house
 The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds
 The wicked, handsome stranger well, he just left the way he came
 He broke her heart and broke her mind
 She never was the same
 They say he was the devil
 And he had come to steal her soul
 And she never loved another, it was told
 They say she had a baby
 And some say that it had died
 They say it's just as well
 As it had been the devil's child
 They say good conquers evil
 But here, evil won the prize
 And so the mountain angel took to the wild
 And oh, uh-oh-oh, she couldn't take it
 Years passed and she had long since lost her mind
 She waited for him as her beauty faded
 And her parents died from grief before their time
 She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit
 Beside the tiny grave, deep in the woods is where she'd sit
 Talking to the baby, to herself, who knew for sure
 Possessed, they say, by Satan's insane lure
 High atop the mountain, for years they say she's seen
 Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen
 She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play
 They'd see that crazy lady, then run away
 They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch
 The once lovely mountain angel, was now thought to be a witch
 She made those wailing mournful sounds, that you could hear for miles
 Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died
 'Cause oh, uh-oh-oh, she couldn't take it
 And she's waiting for the ones that she adored
 Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin'
 Her spirit roams these hills forevermore
 The mountain angel's voices ever more
 You can hear ger singing out
 Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
 Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
 Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
 Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh

 Oh thank you
 Oh I told you there was gonna be sadness
 You just sat there and suffer through it didn't you?
 I'm proud of you
 But I know I heard some of you out there crying with me
 There was you doing that, ooh, ooh, ooh
 Was that you? Let's do it again
 Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
 Oh come on, you are sorry or not, get that on louder
 It'll be just like therapy, let's get a good cry
 Come on, we'll just do a couple of 'em just like that
 You wanna practice once more here we go
 Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
 Ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
 See that feels good don't it?
 It feels just like going to therapy
 Only thing better than a good cry is a good laugh
 See it ain't gonna charge you nothing though
 Yeah, you'll have to pay a hundred dollars for that
 If you went to poly-cullum psychiatrist
 Hadn't been in a while, anyways
 I thought I ain't needed to go
 But then I was good
 See I like a good laugh and a good cry
 Like to say I ain't charge you nothing
 Except what you already paid for your ticket
 And I know that was a plenty
 But I need the money
 You know how much it cost to make a person look as cheap
 Anyway I appreciate that, and I know I feel better after a good cry
