作词 : Parton (Dolly Parton) Pretty as an angel from the day that she was born Skin as fair as Lily's hair, as golden as the corn They knew that she was special from the moment she first cried She was a mountain angel certified She was her momma's baby, she was her daddy's pride Good at home, at church and school, at everything she tried Everybody's darlin' led a charmed and peaceful life The perfect mountain angel 'til he arrived And ohh, she fell so deeply Ooh, she couldn't stop She gave herself to him, milled it completely He lifted her so high he let her drop She gave up everything for him that mattered in her life All the others that had loved her and she vowed to be his wife She dreamed of bearing children in an ivy-covered house The mountain angel's sunshine turned to clouds The wicked handsome stranger left the way he came Broke her heart and broke her mind She never was the same They say he was the devil That had come to steal her soul She never loved another it was told They say she had a baby Some say that it had died They it's just as well As it had been the devil's child They say good conquers evil But here, evil won the prize So the mountain angel took to the wild And ooh, she couldn't take it Years passed and she had long since lost her mind She waited for him as her beauty faded Her parents died from grief before their time She tried to gather pieces of her life, they wouldn't fit Beside the tiny grave deep in the woods is where she'd sit Talking to the child, herself, to him, who knew for sure Possessed they say by satan's insane lure High a'top the mountain, for years they say she's seen Looking down upon the town where she had once been queen She'd sneak around the playground, watch the little children play They'd see the crazy lady then run away They say she roamed these hills for years, wearing not a stitch The lovely mountain angel now thought to be a witch She made those wailing mournful sounds That you could hear for miles Long after she laid down upon her baby's grave and died And ooh, her ghost is callin' She's waiting for the ones that she adored Through spring and summer, fall when snow is fallin' Her spirit roams these hills forever more The mountain angel's voices ever more Oohh, oooo Oohh, oooo Oohh, oooo
