Originally composed by Stephen Foster for Christy's Minstrels, 
a popular blackface minstrel troupe of the time.


Angelina baker, her age is 43
Bought her candy by the peck,  but she won't marry me

Her father is the miller, they call him Uncle Sam.
I never will forget her, unless I take a dram.

Angelina's handsome, Angeline is tall,
They say she sprained her ankle a-dancing at the ball


The last time that I saw her was at the county fair,
Her father run me almost home and told me to stay there.

I never want no other girl no matter where I go.
I said I'd marry Angelina twenty years ago.
