All God's Angels - Kate Rusby

Track 7 on Kate's 1999 album, Sleepless

Guest Vocals; Tim O'Brien

Lyrics;
Will you marry me sir
Oh tether me down
For I am too free
Will you walk hand in hand with me
For I do carry a child by thee

Oh madam, I'll not marry thee
For I'm married away
And I'll always be
I'll not walk hand in hand with thee
Even though you've a child by me

Oh sir, heartbroken I'll be
Is she finer than I
Is she tall and lean
Is she the rarest you've ever seen
Of your own heart is she the queen

Oh madam, she's twenty of thee
She's tall and she's lean
How she smiles on me
She's the rarest, she is my queen
I'll never care for a girl like thee

Oh sir, than shamed am I
I'll run to the fields
And it's there I'll die
There God's Angels will around me fly
There they'll care for my child and I

That's an Irish tragedy ballad for you - rips out your guts while making you marvel at how pretty it all is.

[shazam15]

jeez the man in this song is tripping.

knocking up a chick while you're married then denying her proposal and leaving her to die in a field.

pretty tough stuff.

I'm pretty sure this song is about, you know, Abraham. "A complete jerk-off?" maybe.

This is my absolute favourite and it makes me cry everythime I hear it. The story is so touching and sad. Sung by the best duo in the world too!!

[Mastersamyd]

Great song, but i have to say the lyrics say I'll run to the fields, and there i'll die, but its actually 'and there i'll lie' =D just noticed it.

[DeeArr]

@shazam15 You say that like it's a bad thing.

God I love Kate Rusby, and Irish Ballads...<3 The man in this song is a complete jerk-off though, his wife he loves so much should drop kick him where the sun doesn't shine, and go save the girl in the field. @_@

Tim O'Brien has a lovely voice as well! I shall have to look him up...
