	Story Behind the Song STEVE OSBURN, A NOTED AND WONDERFUL NATIVE AMERICAN FLUTE PLAYER AND COMPOSER, SENT ME THE WORDS TO THIS SONG AND ASKED IF I WOULD WRITE THE MELODY. THE WORDS SEEMED TO ALREADY HAVE A MELODY, FOR AS I READ THEM I COULD ALREADY HEAR IT! SO I WENT AHEAD AND RECORDED IT JUST THE WAY I HEARD IT IN MY HEAD.--STEVE SAYS HIS GRANDMOTHER TOLD HIM THIS STORY... Lyrics MR. SLIM (ANGEL IN DISGUISE) WHEN I WAS JUST A KID WE LIVED BESIDE A RAILROAD TRACK.. AND A HOBO KNOWN AS MR. SLIM CAME TO OUR PORCH OUT BACK.. MOM GAVE HIM A BIG PLATE OF FOOD, AND THEN HE ASKED FOR MORE.. AS I STOOD IN THE KITCHEN PEEPING THROUGH THE OLD SCREEN DOOR.. I ASKED MOM WHY SHE GAVE HIM HER LAST CHANGE WHEN RENT WAS DUE.. SHE SAID DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU'D HAVE THEM DO TO YOU.. AND RENT WOULD BE PAID SOMEHOW IF IT WAS THE GOOD LORD'S WILL.. THEN UNDERNEATH HIS PLATE SHE FOUND A HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL.. (CHORUS) THEN MOM SAID THAT MR. SLIM HAD BEEN AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.. AND I CAN STILL REMEMBER SEEING TEARS FALL FROM HER EYES.. THEN SHE SMILED AT ME AND SAID IT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE THAT MR. SLIM HAD REALLY BEEN AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.. AS WE SAT ON THE PORCH THAT NIGHT WE THOUGHT OF MR. SLIM.. THEN WE WALKED TO THE HOBO CAMP TO SAY THANK YOU TO HIM.. WHEN MOM ASKED WHERE HE WAS ONE OF THE OLD HOBOS REPLIED.. HE DOESN'T PASS THROUGH HERE NO MORE, THREE YEARS AGO HE DIED... (CHORUS) WE TOLD THEM HOW MR.SLIM HAD BEEN AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.. AND I CAN STILL REMEMBER SEEING TEARS FALL FROM THEIR EYES.. WE'D ALL BEEN GIVEN PROOF THAT NIGHT OF WHERE SALVATION LIES.. FOR THE LORD HAD SENT US MR. SLIM, AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.. AND THE GOLDEN RULE STILL GUIDES US SINCE WE CAME TO REALIZE.. YOU NEVER KNOW JUST WHO MIGHT BE AN ANGEL IN DISGUISE.. YOU KNOW HE WAS AN ANGEL IN DIGUISE.. HE HAD TO BE AN ANGEL..ANGEL
