Angels Lost

by Original Broadway Cast of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

[Aunt Polly]
Dear Lord
If there's an angel up in heaven, could you send him to that cave?
There's a couple angels missing, that only you can save
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
Dear Lord I know it's true
But there's a couple angels lost down here, whose only hope is you
There's a couple angels lost down here, ain't there something you can do?

[Judge Thatcher]
Dear Lord
If you're really up there listening
And you need some company
I've lived so long already
You'd be better off with me

[Aunt Polly]
Have mercy on the children lord, please give them time to grow

[Judge Thatcher]
I'd rather you take me than her...
Cause lord I love her so

[Aunt Polly]
Have mercy on the children lord, please give them time to grow

[Aunt Polly and Townswomen]
I'd rather you take me than him, cause lord I love him so
There's a couple angels lost down here, and lord I love him so!

[Aunt Polly and Judge Thatcher and Townspeople]
Dear Lord
If you're really up there listening
And you need some company

[Men]
I've lived so long already
You'd be better off with me

[Women]
Have mercy on the children lord
Please give them time to grow

[Judge]
I'd rather you'd take me than her
