[00:00.202]Angels In Disguise (1996 Digital Remaster) - Slim Dusty
[00:01.402]Composed by：Slim Dusty/Frank Perkins
[00:08.326]God sent an angel to the earth in lowly guise she came
[00:14.310]She was kind and tolerant and Mary was her name
[00:21.024]Oh she did the work around the house
[00:24.145]For all the careless throng
[00:27.074]And as she worked she'd sometimes
[00:29.314]Sing a tuneless little song
[00:41.176]To me her voice was beautiful
[00:43.902]And of times at her knees
[00:46.790]And little tuneless song you
[00:48.958]Know would cheer and comfort me
[00:53.485]Oh she had that happy little knack
[00:56.469]With a smile that lit her face
[00:59.381]To ease the strain of those
[01:01.470]In pain and poor souls in disgrace
[01:13.678]Though her hands were worn
[01:15.574]And rubbed and when they stroked your brow
[01:19.326]They were cool and soft as silk
[01:21.846]Wish I could hold them now
[01:26.214]Our love for her it was sincere
[01:28.901]In careless way you know
[01:31.990]We'd go places so to mask
[01:34.470]If so she would let them go
[01:45.941]And even dad neglected her
[01:48.676]Yet loved her just the same
[01:51.541]As on that day that little
[01:53.549]Church when she first took his name
[01:58.615]Years went by and hair turned grey
[02:01.238]Her face a little lined
[02:04.143]The only way she seemed to
[02:06.127]Change was sweeter and more kind
[02:17.819]Then her footsteps faulted
[02:19.427]Just a bit and her work took over long
[02:23.529]Of times we did not hear her
[02:25.833]Sing that tuneless little song
[02:29.206]God must have seen the many
[02:31.342]Ways in which we caused her pain
[02:34.736]For he called one night when
[02:36.494]All was still and he took her home again
[02:41.782]Oh we miss her more than words
[02:43.981]Can tell but with our opened eyes
[02:47.713]We learned at last that mothers
[02:50.444]Are angels in disguise
