WE’LL ALL BE ANGELS

by

Matt McGinn

 

We’ll all be angels in the sweet by and by

We’ll all get wings and away we’ll fly

All your food for nothing and your lodgings in the sky

Isn’t it grand to be an angel?

 

I went down the Gallowgate to see what I could see

There I met a preacher, here’s what he says to me

‘Give over all your drinking, don’t swear or tell a lie

And you’re sure to be an angel in the sweet by and by’

 

We’ll all be angels in the sweet by and by

We’ll all get wings and away we’ll fly

All your food for nothing and your lodgings in the sky

Isn’t it grand to be an angel?

 

I went to my employer and I asked him for a rise

I could tell he was religious by the glitter in his eyes

Says, ‘I would make your rich’, he says, ‘but here is what you’d see

When they’re giving out the wings, you would be grounded here wi me’

 

Oh, we’ll all be angels in the sweet by and by

We’ll all get wings and away we’ll fly

All your food for nothing and your lodgings in the sky

Isn’t it grand to be an angel?

 

I was knocked doon by a driver, he was either drunk or daft

Though he tore off both my legs, he found all I could dae was laugh

In a few more years where I’m going, I’ll no think on such things

Where’s the need of legs when you’ve a lovely pair of wings?

 

We’ll all be angels in the sweet by and by

We’ll all get wings and away we’ll fly

All your food for nothing and your lodgings in the sky

Isn’t it grand to be an angel?

 

I know an angel, she’s bonny as can be

I’ve a fancy for her but she disnae fancy me

She turns and she snubs me every time I try

But I know I’ll get her in the sweet by and by

 

We’ll all be angels in the sweet by and by

We’ll all get wings and away we’ll fly

All your food for nothing and your lodgings in the sky

Isn’t it grand to be an angel?
