Chorus When they heard that Louis was dead all the people dressed in red, 'cos angels have laid him away. Chorus Oh, kind friends now ain't it hard to see poor Louis in a new graveyard where angels laid him away. Chorus Miz Collins weep, Miz Collins moan to see your son Louis leave his home - angels laid him away. Chorus
