Louis Collins Chords

LOUIS COLLINS
written by Mississippi John Hurt
 
 
   G                C
Ms Collins weep, Ms Collins moan
C             C7        F
What made her son Louis leave his home?
C      G           C
Angels laid him away
 
 
CHORUS:
Angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
Angels laid him away
 
 
Oh kind friends, now ain't it hard
To see poor Louis in a new grave yard
Angels laid him away
 
-CHORUS-
 
Bob shot one and Louis shot two
Shot poor Collins, shot him through and through
Angels laid him away
 
-CHORUS-
 
When they heard that Louis was dead
All the women folks they dressed in red
Angels laid him away
 
-CHORUS-
 
Oh kind friends, now ain't it hard
To see poor Louis in a new grave yard
Angels laid him away
 
-CHORUS-
 
Mrs Collins weep, Mrs Collins moan
What made her son Louis leave his home?
Angels laid him away
 
-CHORUS-
