Lyrics:

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
