Analysis of Angel's Look Over Me

Perry Campanella 1948 (FL)

First I must honor God
Second honor his name
Third I must be obedient
Fourth be kind and true
Fifth I must honor father mother too
Sixth I must neither
fight or kill as this I
must never-never do
Seventh I must Love my
neighbor's for neighbor's
my Lord will love me too
Eigth I must not com-mit
adultry when I'm as big or
big-ger than you
Ninth I must never ever steal
God's Angel's look over me
and every-thing I do
Tenth I will not work on my
Sabbath and I pray you may
not have-have to - I Love you
