Brown Angel

Brown angel, brown angel
Lord, my brown angel's gone
I'm worried and lonesome
Drinking anything I can find
I'm worried and lonesome
Drinking anything I can find
Lord, but nothing in this world
Can take that woman off my mind

I close my eyes and dream
Dream brown angel's come back home
I close my eyes and dream
My brown angel's come back home
I wake up shouting, "Mercy, mercy"
It's just a dream, my baby's gone

I watch the sunrise every morning
'Til it goes down in the west
I watch the sunrise every morning
Until it goes down in the west
Hoping that the next day brings
Back brown angel, my happiness

I fall down on my knees
But, Lord, I don't know how to pray
Oh, please, somebody
Teach me, tell me what to say
So I can ask my God above
Bring brown angel back someday
