[Verse 1]
I know you’ve heard this all before
I cannot tell a lie
Of how I flew with aces high
Young men in the war
But there is nothin' you can do
When the bugle calls
You don’t feel so brave somehow
When an angel falls

[Verse 2]
After Armistice was signed
My barnstormin' days
I took my wings to where it pays
Left Missouri far behind
Through Venezuelan skies I flew
Condor glides, an engine stalls
Searchin' for a river of gold
And I found Angel Falls

[Chorus]
Jimmie Angel, Jimmie Angel
From the dеvil’s house, a river fell
Thеy called it Angel Falls

[Verse 3]
You wouldn’t know to look at me
There are scars I hide
And you are still here by my side
Oh, my sweet Marie
And so today I find myself
Flightless within these walls
Perhaps it’s true a soul gets saved
When an angel falls

[Chorus]
Jimmie Angel, Jimmie Angel
Jimmie Angel, Jimmie Angel
They scattered him on folded wings
High over Angel Falls
