Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Louis Collins (Mississippi John Hurt)
This is the only MJH-song I learned to play so far.
MJH-is an underated mastermind. It feels like his voice and fingers and guitar is a perfect unit.
But I wonder about the vers: Bob shot once and Louis shot too.
Is it about a gunfight and both Louis and Bob shot and Bob killed Louis?
I have sung and listen to this song for a while now, not truely inderstanding the meaning of this verse.
I'm not dumbed, I am swedish.
