I went down in the valley one day I heard the angels singing I heard a voice, I saw no one I heard the angels singing What you reckon the angels said I heard the angels singing Your sins is forgiven and your soul is free I heard the angels singing I went down in the valley one day I heard the angels singing to me I seen an old devil walk down my way I heard the angels singing What you reckon the devil said I heard the angels singing He said that heaven's door is closed, go home don't pray But I heard the angels singing I said get back sit down, get out of my way I heard the angels singing I don't wanna hear another word you say Oh I heard the angels singing Oh yes, I heard the angels singing Just when I thought my soul was lost I heard the angels singing My dungeon was shook, my chains dropped off I heard them singing The people come running, saying what's it all about I heard the angels singing The holy ghost hit me, I could not help but shout I heard the angels singing When I went down in the valley one day I heard the angels singing to me I seen an old devil walk down my way I heard the angels singing I said get back sit down, get out of my way I heard the angels I don't wanna hear another word you say Woo! I heard 'em singing In that great getting up morning I heard the angels singing to me In that great getting up morning and I, whoo! You know I heard the angels, hallelujah!
