lyrics

I know you’ve heard this all before
I cannot tell a lie
Of how I flew with aces high
Young men in the war
But there is nothing you can do
When the bugle calls
You don’t feel quite so brave somehow
When an angel falls

After armistice was signed
My barnstorming days
I took my wings to where it pays
Left Missouri far behind
Through Venezuelan skies I flew
Condor glides an engine stalls
Searching for a river of gold
And I found Angel Falls

Jimmie Angel, Jimmie Angel
From the devil’s house a river fell
And they called it Angel Falls

You wouldn’t know to look at me
And there are scars I hide
You are still here by my side
Oh, my sweet Marie
So today I find myself
Flightless within these walls
Perhaps it’s a true a soul gets saved
When an angel falls

Jimmie Angel, Jimmie Angel
They scattered him in folded wings
High over Angel Falls
