Louis Collins Lyrics
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.
Oh kind friends, oh ain't it hard?
To see poor Louis in a new graveyard.
The angels laid him away.
Oh Bob shot once and Louis shot, too [two]
Shot poor Collins, shot him through and through.
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.
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.
To see her son Louis leavin' home.
The angels laid him away.
They laid him six feet under the clay.
The angels laid him away.
To see poor Louis in a new graveyard.
The angels laid him away.
Shot poor Collins, shot him through and through.
The angels laid him away.
They laid him six feet under the clay.
The angels laid him away.
To see her son Louis leavin' home.
The angels laid him away.
They laid him six feet under the clay.
The angels laid him away.
All the people, they dressed in red.
The angels laid him away.
They laid him six feet under the clay.
The angels laid him away.
