The Angels Rejoiced Last Night (with Gram Parsons) |
A house not a home was a picture Satan painted |
For sweet little sister and me |
Our Daddy would frown while Mother was praying |
His heart was so hardened that he would not believe |
In anger he’d swear, his voice cold and loud |
His Sundays were spent down with the gambling crowd |
I’ve never seen my Daddy inside the house of God |
For Satan held his hand down the path of sin he trod |
Not long ago our circle was broken |
When God called our Mother one night |
In a voice sweet and low, her last words were spoken |
Asking our Daddy to raise her children right |
The angels rejoiced in Heaven last night |
I heard my Daddy praying, «Dear God, make it right» |
He was smiling and singing with tears in his eyes |
While mother with the angels rejoiced last night |
While mother with the angels rejoiced last night |
