Nobody dares it's our home town
Everybody cried when angel came tumbling down
Somebody said they saw her grave
Somebody said she almost drowned
Everybody cried when angel came tumbling down
She was my only weakness
She was my only crown
Everybody cried when angel came tumbling down
I have only one regret I shoulda' stole her dressing gown
Everybody cried when angel came tumbling down
She would play the innocent
When she was the only whore in town
Everybody cried when angel came tumbling down
She had her own sweet baby james
Nobody knows his father now
Everybody cried when angel came tumbling down
