Well, we made our way up 99 in the springtime of the year The San Joaquin was all in bloom, and songbirds everywhere We chanced upon a workingman, lying by the road I judged him for a truck driver by the clothes he woreWe drew some nearer to him then, inquirin' of his name Well, here's three little angels come down for to carry me home Then, bear me up to Jesus now, my Savior I shall see You ain't no regular angels, boys, but that's alright by meThen Lefty, stepping forward, addressed the dyin' man Saying, We're no angels, brother, but we'll do all we can What cowards set upon you, sir, and dealt the fatal blow?
