Mrs. Collins wept
Mrs. Collins moaned
To see her son Louis leaving home
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Mrs. Collins wept
Mrs. Collins moaned
To see her son louis leaving home
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Oh Bob shot once
Louis shot two
Shot poor Collins
Shot him through and through
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Oh kind friends
Oh aint it hard
To see poor Louis in a new graveyard
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Mrs. Collins wept
Mrs. Collins moaned
To see her son louis leaving home
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
