  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
