Letra da Música: Louis Collins - Mississippi John Hurt

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned,
To see her son Louis leave his home
Angels laid him away
Angels laid him away,
They laid him six feet under the clay
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

Bob shot once and Louis shot too,
They shot poor Collins, shot him through and through
Angels laid him away
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
Angels laid him away
Angels laid him away,
They laid him six feet under the clay
Angels laid him away

When they heard that Louis was dead
All the people they dressed in red
Angels laid him away
Angels laid him away,
They laid him six feet under the clay
Angels laid him away
