INTRO: Am D Am
Riding in from Wilmington, through fields of cotton[G]wood
At the [Am]end of a three day journey, face of Angelina [Em]stood
[Am]Briars lie beneath her feet, a crown of (tangles) in her [G]hair
Upon her [Am]face no trace of the girl, he left behind, did [G]linger [Am]there
"My love I left you for to fight, I left you for the [G]war
But a [Am]folly drove me far apart, kept me from your [Em]door
I [Am]procured a taste for liquor, oh, the gaming [G]life
I [Am]should have returned to your side to claim you [G]for my [Am]wife"
INTERLUDE: D-Am D-Am D Am G Am E7 Am
"Oh, tell me, oh, tell me, my dearest Angeli[G]lina
Who [Am]was it took your sweet smile, what did this, this day [Em]claim
The [Am]colour from your ruby lips, your (reddle) sets the place to [G]shame
Who [Am]gave to you a baby, but did not [G]give his [Am]name"
INSTRUMENTAL: D-Am D-Am D Am G Am E7 Am (2x)
"I will never tell you, I will take it to my [G]grave
Who [Am]was it stole my young heart and carried it a[Em]way
The [Am]ride of love did fall to dust, now it's blackened up the [G]sky
I will re[Am]main, my remembrance, my baby [G]boy and [Am]I"
