[VERSE]
She was born in the backwoods,
Deep in the holler of Tennessee.--

Raised by her dear ole granny,
'Cause her momma died from the whiskey.

Her daddy, they said, never stayed,
Once momma was put in the grave.

[ CHORUS ]
She’s a backwoods angel
whose life was taken too soon.
When she met the devil,
Under the dark, misty moon.
Raised without the love,
Of her father and mother.
It left her heart broken,
And vulnerable that summer.

[ VERSE ]
She was just an innocent child,
Trusting everyone she met.

She never saw the bad in him,
And never saw him as a threat.

Her kindness was blinded,
She didn’t see it coming.

She didn’t see the danger,
Didn’t see evil approaching.

[ CHORUS ]
She’s a backwoods angel
whose life was taken too soon.
When she met the devil,
Under the dark, misty moon.
Raised without the love,
Of her father and mother.
It left her heart broken,
And vulnerable that summer.

She had a life in the holler
And was loved by everyone,
[ VERSE ]
She was only ten years old,
Her life had not even begun.

Now she lies next to her momma,
in the old graveyard,

with a small, wooden headstone,
And only her name is carved.
[ CHORUS ]
She’s a backwoods angel
whose life was taken too soon.
When she met the devil,
Under the dark, misty moon.
Raised without the love,
Of her father and mother.
It left her heart broken,
And vulnerable that summer.
She’s a backwoods angel,
A backwoods angel.
