American Old Time Song Lyrics: 06 Angels Meet Me On The Cross Road
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 6
Angels, Meet Me On the Cross-Road.
Sung by Chas. Anderson.
I rise up early in the morn,
I hear old Gabriel blow his horn;
Make haste, darkies, don't you wait,
'Case you all may lose dem keys to the gate.
Chorus.
Angels, meet me on the cross-road, meet me,
Angels, meet me on the cross-road, meet me,
Angeis, meet me on the cross-road, meet me,
I ain't gwine to charge any tole.
What kind of shoes does the angels wear?
Dat dey can walk around up in heaven in the air?
I stand by the gate, I hear de angels knock,
And I put all the nickels in de missionary box.-Chorus.
