Thread Name: Lyr Req: Louis Collins (Mississippi John Hurt)
Subject: RE: 'Louis Collins' by miss. john hurt
if you are speaking of a song also known as "the angels laid him away" am suffering in a similar vein and can only make out one verse in its entirety

miss collins weep, miss collins moan to see her son louis leaving his home and the angels laid him away...

the angels laid him away laid him six feet under the clay the angels laid him away

at some point somebody shoots louis "through and through" but that's all i can make out. best o'luck
