when the angels came took you away from me
my life is not the same like it used to be
no one there to talk to when im feeling low
make me smile again give my heart its glow

im always thinking of you i still love you so
why did the angels come why did you have to go
i miss you here with me every single day
your so far away where the angels stay

cant wait until the day when the angels come for me
united once again together we will be
with our big white wings together we can fly
side by side together in heaven way up high

daddy was a country boy.  played a mean guitar
he would earn a dollar playing in a  bar
singing his own songs drawing in a  crowd
when i heard my daddy sing.   he always made me proud.

people they would dance on the bar room floor
dancing  all night long calling out for more
daddy he loved music he just love to sing
country music to the people daddy he would bring

he loved it best of all when he wrote a song
practice it at home i would sing along
sing it the bar when he got it right
on the bar room floor they would dance all night

take away my heartache take away my pain
come on home to me let us love again
sorry that i hurt you that i made you cry
lets get back together to give it one more try

i will my change my ways if thats what it takes
get it right this time learn by my mistakes
we can start a new make a brand new start
all i need is you to mend my broken heart

we  can love again with all the love we knew
share again the good times things we used to do
let us try again try again once more
let us love again like we did before

daddy was a soldier  he got sent to war
me mamma cried when he walked out the door
daddy kept in touch every single day
before we went to bed ma and me would pray

we couldnt sleep at night couldnt sleep at all
stare at daddies picture hanging on the wall
i would cuddle mamma till our eyes began to close
side by side together of to sleep would doze

then we got the news saying daddy he had died
i held on to mamma together we both cried
just like my daddy. i had to soldier on
take good care of mamma now that daddies gone

i look at your picture hanging on the wall
memories come back as the teardrops fall
all the good times that i knew i can plainly see
of the love i knew when there was you  and me

you still  wear the smile that i used to know
when you looked at me gave my heart a glow
now is just a memory of the love gone  bye
and a  picture of you that always makes me cry

wishing you were here once again with me
in love again once more like we used be
see your smile again that i always  knew
there on your picture that i have of you

always thinking of you every single say
love i have for you will never go away
memories we knew i can still recall
when i see your smile  my teardrops start to fall

up in the mountains where the hillbillies stay
when weekend  comes around they dance the night away
to the mountain music with its hillbilly beat
a little bit moonshine  puts dancing in there feet

steel guitars and banjo and the fiddle to
play there mountain music till the early morning dew
dancing all night long to to the mountain beat
a little bit of moonshine puts dancing in there feet

steel guitars and banjos playing all night long
to the mountain sound and a hillbilly song
a little bit moonshine to put dancing in your feet
dance the night away to the hillbilly beat

i have been a rover traveled every town
from the early morning light till the sun goes down
singing in the bars try to earn some pay
enough to rent a room somewhere i can stay

rovings  all i know sets my spirit free
wakes me up inside wakes the soul in me
drifting here and there always on the roam
oneday find a place that i can call a home

find someone to love raise a family
no more roving ways will there ever be
settle down for good do the best i can
learn to live the life of a family man
