Lyrics:


Ms Collins weeped, Ms Collins moaned
To see her son Louis leaving home.
The angels laid him away.
Chorus
The angels laid him away,
Laid him six feet under the clay,
The angels laid him away.

Oh, Bob shot one and Louis shot two,
Shot poor Collins, shot him through and through,
The angels have laid him away
Chorus

Oh, kind friends, oh ain’t it hard,
To see poor Louis in a new grave yard?
The angels laid him away.
Chorus

Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead,
All the people they dressed in red.
The angels laid him away.
Chorus

Ms Collins weeped, Ms Collins moaned
To see her son Louis leaving home.
The angels laid him away.
Chorus
