Louis Collins took a trip out west |
| [00:13.519] |
When he returned little Delia had gone to rest |
| [00:18.796] |
The angels laid her away |
| [00:24.630] |
Louis said to Delia |
| [00:27.094] |
That's the sad thing with life |
| [00:30.038] |
There's people always leavin'just as other folks arrive |
| [00:35.563] |
The angels laid her away |
| [00:40.888] |
When the people heard Delia was dead |
| [00:46.613] |
All of them gentlemen they dressed in red |
| [00:51.884] |
The angels laid her away |
| [00:57.558] |
Angels laid her away |
| [01:03.085] |
Laid her six feet under the clay |
| [01:08.507] |
The angels laid her away |
| [01:14.078] |
Louis went downtown for a new suit of clothes |
| [01:19.215] |
He's gonna dress up for Delia like a fine red rose |
| [01:24.890] |
The angels laid him away |
| [01:30.260] |
He brought a ten gallon Stetson |
| [01:32.925] |
It was ox blood red |
| [01:35.589] |
Stacker Lee shot Louis in the back of the head |
| [01:41.300] |
The angels laid him away |
| [01:46.873] |
Oh Stacker Lee said to Louis |
| [01:49.234] |
Oh now don't you grieve |
| [01:52.098] |
I'm sending you to Delia |
| [01:54.962] |
you won't ever have to leave |
| [01:57.624] |
The angels laid him away |
| [02:03.446] |
Angels laid him away |
| [02:08.762] |
They laid him six feet under the clay |
| [02:14.084] |
The angels laid him away |
| [02:36.279] |
Well the judge was a mean one |
| [02:39.724] |
His name was Hangin'Billy Lyons |
| [02:41.481] |
He said You've always been a bad man |
| [02:44.097] |
Stack you gonna hang this time |
| [02:47.015] |
The angels lay you away |
| [02:52.544] |
And the jailer said to Stacker Lee |
| [02:55.260] |
What's the problem with you |
| [02:58.024] |
Aw jailer Louis Collins'ghost |
| [03:00.965] |
brought Delia's with him too |
| [03:03.533] |
The angels laid them away |
| [03:09.215] |
Angels laid him away |
| [03:14.695] |
They laid him six feet under the clay |
| [03:19.945] |
The angels laid him away |
| [03:42.044] |
Well they buried little Delia |
| [03:44.603] |
In the church yard deep |
| [03:47.160] |
With Louis Collins at her head |
| [03:49.721] |
Stacker Lee at her feet |
| [03:53.019] |
The angels laid them away |
| [03:58.436] |
And out of Delia's bed came briars |
| [04:01.002] |
Out of Louis's bed a rose |
| [04:03.767] |
Out of Stacker Lee's came |
| [04:05.575] |
Stacker Lee's cold lonely little ghost |
| [04:09.716] |
Angels laid them away |
| [04:14.795] |
And I'm looking over rooftops |
| [04:17.662] |
And I'm hoping that it ain't true |
| [04:20.227] |
That the same God looks out for them |
| [04:23.244] |
Looks out for me and you |
| [04:25.757] |
Angels laid them away |
| [04:31.338] |
Angels laid them away |
| [04:36.813] |
Angels laid them away |
