G 
Got a sweet black angel, 
  
Got a pin up girl, 
  
Got a sweet black angel, 
  
Up upon my wall.  
 
Well, she ain't no singer 
  
And she ain't no star,  
 
But she sure talk good, 
  
And she move so fast.  
                  Em 
But the gal in danger, 
                   Am  
Yeah, de gal in chains,  
                   D 
But she keep on pushin',  
                    G 
Would ya take her place?  
                     Em 
She countin' up de minutes,  
                    Am 
She countin' up de days,  
                     D 
She's a sweet black angel, woh,  
                    G 
Not a sweet black slave. 
  
Ten little niggers  
 
Sittin' on de wall,  
 
Her brothers been a fallin',  
 
Fallin' one by one.  
 
For a judge they murdered  
 
And a judge they stole 
,  
Now de judge he gonna judge her 
  
For all dat he's worth.  
                  Em 
Well de gal in danger,  
             Am 
De gal in chains, ,

                       Em  
She countin' up de minutes, 
                    Am  
She countin' up de days,  
                      D 
She's a sweet black angel,  
 
Not a gun toting teacher, 
  
Not a Red lovin' school mom,  
 
Ain't someone gonna free her, 
                      G  
Free de sweet black slave,
