Louis Collins (Aka the Angels Laid Him Away |
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned |
To see her son Louis leavin' home |
The angels laid him away |
The angels laid him away |
They laid him six feet under the clay |
The angels laid him away |
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned |
To see her son Louis leavin' home |
The angels laid him away |
Oh, Bob shot once and Louis shot too |
Shot poor Collins, shot him through and through |
The angels laid him away |
Oh, kind friends, oh, ain’t it hard? |
To see poor Louis in a new graveyard |
The angels laid him away |
The angels laid him away |
They laid him six feet under the clay |
The angels laid him away |
Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead |
All the people they dressed in red |
The angels laid him away |
The angels laid him away |
They laid him six feet under the clay |
The angels laid him away |
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned |
To see her son Louis leavin' home |
The angels laid him away |
The angels laid him away |
They laid him six feet under the clay |
The angels laid him away |
