作词 : Griffith

She's just a hill country girl home from the city

Her pocket's full of plenty of those neon lights

And her mother's smile shines on her youngest child

Though she is just a barroom singer

with her father's eyes

The city streets are harder understandin'

It would be easy for the devil to pass by

But she can close her eyes and dream about

the country boy

Chain of gold and a lullaby

Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight

It's a harvest moon when she's home to count her blessings

She's saved that love from passing

Though it's now ten years gone by

He is buried in these hills, folded all around her

It still's a heart of hunger with his memories inside

The city streets are harder understandin'

It would be easy for the devil to pass by

But she can close her eyes and dream about

the country boy

Chain of gold and a lullaby

Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight

In the mornin' she'll move on 'cause it's April on the wing

It put's feathers on her strings and her voice will fly

But that necklace of gold

She wears of his protects her soul

From the barroom brawls and the late night drinkers

When the devil's passin' by

The city streets are harder understandin'

It would be easy for the devil to pass by

But she can close her eyes and dream about

the country boy

Chain of gold and a lullaby

Because he's waltzin' with the angels tonight

They will be waltzin' with the angels tonight
