Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a sweet black angel
Got a pinup girl
Got a sweet black angel
Up upon my wall
Well, she ain't no singer
And she ain't no star
But she sure talk good
And she move so fast
[PreChorus]
But the gal in danger
Yeah, the gal in chains
But she keep on pushin'
Would you take her place?
[Chorus]
She countin' up the minutes
Countin' up the days
She's a sweet black angel, whoa
Not a sweet black slave
[Verse 2]
Ten little ****
Sittin' on the wall
Her brothers been a-fallin'
Fallin' one by one
For a judge's murder
In a judge's court
Now the judge, he gonna judge her
For all that he's worth
[PreChorus]
Well, the gal in danger
The gal in chains
The gal in chains
She keep on pushin'
Would you do the same?
[Chorus]
She countin' up the minutes
She countin' up the days
She's a sweet black angel
Not a gun totin' teacher
Not a Red-lovin' school marm
Is someone gonna free her?
Free the sweet black slave
Free the sweet black slave
Free the sweet black slave
Free the sweet black slave
