Story behind the song
I learned of the phrase “The Angels’ Share”, from the book “Far Appalachia” by Noah Adams. It was first used by the whiskey makers of Scotland, & later Appalachia, and refers to the tiny essence of whiskey that escapes into the mountain air during the distilling process. The places & things mentioned in this collection of songs are just the Angels’ Share of the deeper offerings from this area.
Lyrics
Flyin' high, Carolina blue
A white palmetto
Beneath the crescent moon
On & on a single grand design
The goodness goes on
Beyond the borderlines
(Chorus)
Blue ridge after blue ridge
I have to stop & stare
And when I think I’ve seen it all
It’s just the angels’ share
The closer I look
The more I find
Hills & valleys
Loaded down with life
(Chorus)
From Ellicott to Blowing Rock
Clingman’s Dome to Catalochee
Swannanoa, Sassafras to Shenandoah
And all that’s in between
I’ve heard it’s called God’s country
Well I don’t know if this is where he’s from
But I’ll bet if he takes a vacation
This is where he comes
(Chorus)
