Story behind the song
THe Monday night contra dance band called "Your Friends and Neighbors" played this song every week. BUt nobody knew any of the lyrics except the chorus, so I wrote new ones.
Lyrics
Angeline, Angeline, Angeline the Baker, Angeline the Baker, She won't marry me, The first time I saw Angeline was at the County Fair, You could smell her cookies everywhere, I followed the scent to her booth, And I bought three dozen because they smelled so good, Angeline, Angeline, Angeline the Baker, Angeline the Baker, She won't marry me, Angeline the Baker, makes the best snickerdoodles, And when she bakes them she sends some to me, Still Angeline, Angeline, Angeline the Baker, Angeline the Baker, She won't marry me, And I beg and I plead, down on my knees, Angeline please marry me, I beg and I plead, down on my knees, Angeline I need you, I beg and I plead down on my knees, Angeline please marry me, I beg and I plead, down on my knees, why don't you need me. I brought Angeline All her favorite flowers, White, pastry and whole wheat, When I gave them to her she said they made her happy, Still Angeline the Baker, she won't marry me, Angeline, Angeline, Angeline the Baker, Angeline the Baker, She won't marry me, Angeline the Baker, makes vegan ginger cookies, And when she bakes them she sends some to me, Still Angeline, Angeline, Angeline the Baker, Angeline the Baker, She won't marry me, I brought Angeline some very special brownies, Special ingredient, TLC, Then Angeline, Angeline, Angeline the Baker, Angeline the Baker agreed to marry me.
