Let me tell you a story
'Bout a woman I know
She was so smart and pretty
A tenderness that I never saw

But sometimes she spoke about things
That nobody understood
She saw so many devils
But never lost her sweet mood

She prayed to the lord with passion
Was everyday to church
I will never understand the reason
Why the best people go first

She had a black mind, with an angel heart
She was much stronger, stronger than I thought
She fought her devils, 'til the day she died
But now she joined the lord, with an angel mind

She was poor with little health
But I never heard her complain
She never thought 'bout herself
And never talked about the pain

She always spoke 'bout happiness
That she wished for her children
I never saw so much kindness
I'm sure she's good in heaven

She had a black mind, with an angel heart
She was much stronger, stronger than I thought
She fought her devils, 'til the day she died
But now she joined the lord, with an angel mind

She had a black mind, with an angel heart
She was much stronger, stronger than I thought
She fought her devils, 'til the day she died
But now she joined the lord, with an angel mind
