NOTES: "Angels In Heaven Done Signed My Name" appeared in Rodeheaver's 1923
book, Negro Spirituals. It's usually known as "I Know I Been Changed (The Angels In Heaven Done Signed My Name)" or simply "I Know I Been Changed."

"Angels In Heaven Done Signed My Name" is a metaphor of a person's name being added to the "Book of Life" by angels thus reserving a place for the person in Heaven. This a different song than, "Angels Changed My Name" from Fisk University Jubilee Singers.
