Got a sweet black angel
Got a pick-up girl
Got a sweet black angel
Up on the wall
She ain’t no singer
She ain’t no star

But she sure good enough
Yeah, she move so fast
She’s a guardian angel
She’s a God in chains
But she keep on pushin’
Will you take her place?
Count out the days

She count out the dead
She’s a smart black angel
Not a sweet black slave
Take a little negra
Get it on your wall
Her brother been calling
Call one by one
The judge say murder

And the judge say court
The judge can judge us
For all we’re worth
She’s a guardian angel
God in chains
But she keep on pushin’
Would you do it the same?

She can’t do nothing
But count out death
She’s a sweet black angel
Not a gun in tail
Not a red hot school marm
Ain’t someone gonna free her
Not a sweet black slave
Not a sweet black slave
