"You're No Angel" is a song written in 1942 by Francis E. Tucher (born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1924). It was recorded by "Nora Lou and her Pals of the Golden West," with lead singer Nora Lou Martin. This female singing group appeared in The Silver Bullet (1942), Stage to Chino (1940), Rancho Grande (1940) with Gene Autry, and Rovin' Tumbleweeds (1939), also with Gene Autry.
The song was also played live by Louis Armstrong at the Hollywood Canteen.
Some of the lyrics are as follow:
Angels come from heaven,
and that is one sure thing,
there never was an angel in disguise,
you could never be an angel with all the sorrows you bring,
but someday you may get wise,
you're no angel from heaven,
for an angel wouldn't tell a lie,
you're no angel from heaven,
for an angel wouldn't make me cry,
you played the game of love with me,
and broke every rule,
some day you'll get what you gave me,
and then you'll be the fool,
you're no angel from this world apart,
for an angel wouldn't break my heart.

Go love without the help of any thing on earth.”
