A couple of guys & I have started to play together and see what happens. I am reluctant to use the word "band".
But, as of now, it is me and two guys on guitar. So, in an attempt to make the most when you have the least we are going to sing a few verses of Angeline the Baker. I have googled the lyrics and scanned YouTube. Is there a recorded version with lyrics that stands out as definitive recording with lyrics? If so, could you point me in the correct direction? Thanks, Chris No mando content here but I saw this live, it was great. The clawhammer player has a fretless banjo that he made, it has a Formica fingerboard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0BcfHZW5CQ Angelina Baker >From Dwight Diller - Elzics Farewell. In key of D Angelina Baker, lived near the village green The way I always loved her, beats all you’ve ever seen Her father was a baker, they called him Uncle Sam I never can forget her, no matter where I am Chorus: Angelina Baker, age of 43 I gave her candy by the peck, but she wont marry me Angelina Baker, left me here alone Left me hear to weep a tear and play on the old jaw bone Said she couldn’t do hard work, because she was not stout Baked her biscuits every day, poured her coffee out Chorus Sixteen horses in my team, the old grey went before Almost broke Angelina’s heart, to hear the wagons roll Angelina Baker, Angeline I know Wish I’d married Angeline, twenty years ago Chorus Bought Angeline a brand new dress, neither black nor brown It was the colour of a stormy cloud, before the rain pour down Sixteen horses in my team, the leader he was blind I came close to dying when they sold my Angeline Chorus Angelina Baker. Alternative words Angelina Baker, age of 23 Prettiest little girl in the whole wide world, but she won’t marry me Angelina Baker, age of 33 I got down on bended knee, the day she married me Angelina Baker, age of 43 Chidren playing round her feet, and a banjo on her knee Angelina Baker, prettiest little girl alive She says that she’s twenty three, but I know she’s forty five. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Taterbugmando" group.
