Rachel Harrington - Louis Collins

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

Mrs Collins weeped, Mrs Collins moaned

To see her son Louis leaving home

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

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]

Mrs Collins weeped, Mrs Collins moaned

To see her son Louis leaving home

The angels laid him away

[chorus]
