Angelina Lyrics - Marty Robbins

We were children who played 

On the backstreets of border towns 

And we dreamed of the day when we might run away 

To where the good life was found 

I remember the night 

When I asked you to be my girl 

Now I feel so ashamed of the promise I made 

When I said I would give you the world 

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes 

I believe I could change the world 

With you by my side 

My Angelina, give me courage to try 

I believe in the man I see 

In my Angelina's eyes 

Seems like nothin' worked out 

Quite the way it was planned to be 

Oh, the dreams that we chased when we came to this place 

Are like nightmares to me 

Workin' day after day 

In the noise of the factory 

And the money's no good but if I say a word 

Immigration will take me away 

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes 

I believe I could change the world 

With you by my side 

My Angelina, give me courage to try 

I believe in the man I see 

In my Angelina's eyes 

If I hadn't been drunk 

I would never have hit that man 

But the whiskey and I saw the look in his eye 

When he asked Angelina to dance 

Now they're takin' me south 

To a jail down in border town 

But it won't be for long, Angelina, be strong 

Keep believin' our dreams will work out 

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes 

I believe I could change the world 

With you by my side 

My Angelina, give me courage to try 

I believe in the man I see 

In my Angelina's eyes 

My Angelina, when I look in your eyes 

I believe I could change the world 

With you by my side 

My Angelina, give me courage to try(fade
