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
