Ragged Angel

(Dolly Parton)



Cindy was a ragged angel

Just a poor little girl on the street

Cindy's eyes showed signs of hunger

Never had enough to eat.



Cindy was a ragged angel

Golden hair and eyes of blue

Cindy loved her paper dolly

That's the only love she knew.



Cindy never knew her daddy

And her mommie was seldom home

Except for Cindy's paper dolly

Cindy was all alone.



Cindy slept with her paper dolly

On a blanket on the floor

She would shiver as the wind blew

Through the crack beneath the door.



One night she laid with her paper dolly

Cold and hungry on the floor

That night God came for the ragged angel

And now Cindy won't ever be cold and hungry no not anymore...



Ragged angel...
