I said farewell to preacher, I said goodbye to sin I made my mother teary and cashed my Bible in But how could I forget you, oh God I try to leave When the angels howl at midnight with the wind in the eaves I see them in the creek beds where the catfish do sleep I watch them strumming banjos while their flaming eyes weep And when I meet my sweetheart out behind the bales of hay Angels tinker with the tractor broken down by the way Leave me angels, perfect angels, angels terrible to see I want no part in God, for what God could want me But even while I turn my face from thy staff and thy rod I hear Appalachian angels sing the praises of God When I walk the mountain hollers hoping nothing for to hear Oh the silence is a hymn that they hum in my ears Every mouthful of moonshine is a draught of blessed blood Angel tears will drown the valleys with the spring meltwater flood I will catch a train to northbound, ride it through the dark of night I will work that godless steel mill where the smoke blots holy light But even there I see them raising wings of prayer and cable wire I see Appalachian angels shoveling coal into the fire Leave me angels, perfect angels, angels terrible to see I want no part in God, for no God could want me But even while I turn my face from thy staff and thy rod I hear Appalachian angels sing the praises of God
