"Little Angel Comes A-Walkin'" lyrics - RAY WYLIE HUBBARD

It's lightning and it's muddy
There's a blackbird on the wing
There's a howling after midnight
And a bottle on some strings
It's Southern Comfort and a woman
Her hips're shakin' a tambourine
And it's the blues down in Memphis
It's the red light in New Orleans

[Chorus:]
A little angel comes a-walkin'
She's lookin' good and feelin' fine
A little angel comes a-walkin'
Southern slow and almost flyin'

You take some sweet [eyes lookin'?] hungry
A little [fire?] and baby talks
There's a fever in the funk-house
In a house built on solid rock
It's a rattle, it's a shakin'
You can hear the jangle and clash
I feel like thunder in the making
I feel like a freight train 'bout to crash

[Chorus:]
A little angel comes a-walkin'
She's lookin' good and feelin' fine
A little angel comes a-walkin'
Southern slow and almost flyin'

[Bridge:]
You take a man that love a woman with everything he's got
I mean everything
Everything that God gives a man to love a woman with
And you got the most powerful thing there is, this side of heaven
Haha, listen to me talkin'
'Cause when a man love a woman with his heart and his mind and his body and his soul
He receives in return a precious love
And his woman is like some century-old, mystifying angel
And he just comes alive when she comes a-walkin' in

[Instrumental]

[Chorus:]
A little angel comes a-walkin'
She's lookin' good and feelin' fine
A little angel comes a-walkin'
Southern slow and almost flyin'

[Chorus:]
A little angel comes a-walkin'
She's lookin' good and feelin' fine
A little angel comes a-walkin'
Southern slow and almost flyin'
