Though this isn t perfect, I think you can use
this as a decent reference. Have fun with it and enjoy.
This song is played with either a mandolin or mandola as the primary instrument,
but it can be played very effectively on the guitar as well.
Note: Though I don t have the notes in place... there s a short progression
between verses. You should be able to figure it out without too much heartache.
Tuning: Standard
Angelina Baker, lived just down the street
And my my heart would set to achinâ every time we chanced to meet
Although sheâs now anotherâs, I still recall the time
When my little Angie swore that sheâd always be mine
Temper of a fury, Irish born and bred
Skin of cream and roses, and her hair was curly red
She could sing just like a songbird, in a sweet magnolia June
And she could play upon a young manâs heart, like sawinâ on a fiddle tune
Well the ocean is a mistress, once she gets in the veins
And to live a life without her Lord, would drive a man insane
My Angeline grew jealous, said itâs either her or me
And she cursed my name in a last farewell, as I set out to sea
For ten long years I terried, in every port of call
Tryinâ to forget that gal of mine, wouldnât do no good at all
So I went to beg her pardon, and make another start
Just to find my Angeline had died of a broken heart
Break: (Verse progression)
Note: (If you have a banjo player, strum each following note once while the banjo
continues to play)
Iâm not much good for nothinâ, my youth long passed away
But if you hand me down my banjo son, I do believe Iâll play
Angelina Baker⦠Angeline I know
I shouldâa married Angeline 40 some-odd years ago
Angelina Baker⦠Angeline I know
I shouldâa married Angeline 40 some-odd years ago
Angelina Baker⦠Angeline I know
I shouldâa married Angeline 40 some-odd years ago
End with the verse progression.
