Mississippi John Hurt Louis Collins

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
