Angola Bound Lyrics

(Aaron Neville, Charles Neville) 
Too many mornin` gotta wake up soon 
Oh Lord, and eat my breakfast by the light of `de moon 
Oh Lord, by the light of `de moon 
If you see my Momma, tell her this for me 
Oh I`ve got a mighty long time, Lord knows I`ll never go free 
Oh Lord, I`ll never be free 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
I got lucky last summer when I got my time, Angola bound 
Well my partner got a hundred, I got ninety-nine, Angola bound 
You been a long time coming but you`re welcome home, Angola bound 
And go to Louisiana get your burdens on, Angola bound 
Oh Captain, oh Captain don`t you be so cruel, Angola bound 
Oh you work me harder than you work that mule, Angola bound 
If it wasn`t for the Captain, oh Lord, I`m shaggin` house 
I`d be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down 
You come up here skippin` and a` jumpin`, oh Lord, it won`t last long 
Gonna wish you was a baby boy, in your mother`s arms 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
Don`t want no gal-boy lovin` cause I got my load, Angola bound 
Don`t want no trouble out `de boys I know, Angola bound 
Oh they always talkin` `bout dangerous blue, Angola bound 
If I had my shank I`d be dangerous too, Angola bound 
Oh Captain say walk and the boss say run, Angola bound 
If I had my pistol I would do `nere one, Angola bound 
If it wasn`t for the Captain, oh Lord, I`m shaggin` house 
I`d be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down 
You come up here skippin` and `a jumpin`, oh Lord it won`t last long 
Gonna wish you was a baby boy, in your mother`s arms 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
If it wasn`t for the Captain, oh Lord, I`m shaggin` house 
I`d be with my woman, yeah, before the sun goes down 
You come up here skippin` and `a jumpin`, oh Lord it won`t last long 
Gonna wish you was a baby boy, in your mother`s arms 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
If I`d always listened to what my Momma said, Angola bound 
I wouldn`t be deep down in the trouble this way, Angola bound 
Oh my Momma, she told me, leave that junk alone, Angola bound 
Got hooked to the habit, had to carry on, Angola bound 
The jury found me guilty cause they wrote it down, Angola bound 
Judge said, junkie boy you`re penitentiary bound, Angola bound 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound 
Angola bound, now, Angola bound
