- Mississippi John Hurt - Louis Collins Lyrics
- Uploaded by LOVE4LYRICS at Pastebin.com
- 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
- __________
- Note: according to Hurt this song, his own composition, was based on a true episode
