An "Angel from Montgomery" refers to a pardon from the governor of Alabama in Montgomery.
Love, love, love this song, arse.

I've never known what it means, though. Tell more about the pardon?

Apparently among death row inmates in Alabama a pardon was called an "Angel from Montgomery". Prine has the woman ask for an Angel from Montgomery because she is destined to die in a prison of her own making unless something dramatic happens like finding the nerve to leave her loveless marriage.
