Rory Block - Avalon: A Tribute To Mississippi John Hurt

Louis Collins

Mrs. Collins weep, Mrs. Collins moan
To see her son Louis leave his home
The angels laid him away

Angels laid him away
They laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

"Angels laid him away
They laid him six feet under the clay
Bye, bye, bye
The angels laid him away"

Kind friends, oh, ain't it hard
To see poor Louis in a new graveyard
The angels laid him away

Angels laid him away, oh Lord
They laid him six feet under the clay
Angels laid him away

Now, Bob shot once and Louis shot too
They shot poor Collins, shot him through and through
Angels laid him away

Now, angels laid him away, great God
They laid him six feet under the clay
Angels laid him away

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned
To see her son Louis leave his home
Angels laid him away

Now, when they heard that Louis was dead
Well, all the people they dressed in red
Angels laid him away

Now, angels laid him away, oh Lord
They laid him six feet under the clay
Angels laid him away
