Dimestore Angel
(1)
By day she was an angel
wearin' best of angel wings
by night she found her heaven
in the earthliest of things
she was the talk of the Blue Moon Tavern
and the gossip on the street
had my mama fallen out of grace
between somebody's sheets
(2)
now mama was just a poor girl
not quite twenty three
who had herself five children
doin' what came naturally
she worked down on the corner
at the local five and dime
while my daddy ran a bootleg stil
just across the county line
(Chorus)
mama never had a band of gold
but she had a satin dress
and when evenin came, she'd shed those wings
and put it to the test
but one fine day in glory
the good lord called her name
cause in his eyes we're all the same
(3)
some townsfolk got together
decidin it wasnt right
for kids to have a mother
who was an angel of the night
so they called on the county shelter
when mama was away
packed us up and took us there
to spend our childhood days
(Chorus)
mama never had a band of gold
but she had a satin dress
and when evenin came, she'd shed those wings
and put it to the test
but one fine day in glory
the good lord called her name
cause in his eyes we're all the same
3
some said it wasn't fitting
when my mama passed away
to dress her in that satin dress
to face her judgement day
but I knew she'd love the gossip
when laid to final rest
and on her stone I wrote these words
she did what she did best
(Chorus)
mama never had a band of gold
but she had a satin dress
and when evenin came, she shed those wings
and put it to the test
but one fine day in glory
the good lord called her name
cause in his eyes we're all the same
repeat last in his eyes we're all the same ) 2 times
