Louis Collins took a trip out westnWhen he returned, little Delia had gone to restnThe angels laid her awaynnLouis said to Delia nThat's the sad thing with life,nThere's people always leavin' just as other folks arrivenThe angels laid her awaynnWhen the people heard Delia was deadnAll of them gentlemen they dressed in rednThe angels laid her awaynnAngels laid her awaynLaid her six feet under the claynThe angels laid her awaynnLouis went downtown for a new suit of clothesnHe's gonna dress up for Delia like a fine red rosenThe angels laid him awaynnHe brought a ten-gallon StetsonnIt was ox blood rednStacker Lee shot Louis in the back of the headnThe angels laid him awaynnOh Stacker Lee said to Louis, n'Oh now don't you grieve. I'm sending you to Delia, you won't ever have to leave.'nThe angels laid him awaynnAngels laid him awaynThey laid him six feet under the claynThe angels laid him awaynnWell the judge was a mean onenHis name was Hangin' Billy LyonsnHe said You've always been a bad man, Stack, you gonna hang this time.nThe angels lay you away.nnAnd the jailer said to Stacker Lee 'What's the problem with you? n'Aw jailer, Louis Collins' ghost brought Delia's with him, too.nThe angels laid them awaynnAngels laid him awaynThey laid him six feet under the claynThe angels laid him awaynnWell they buried little Delia nIn the church yard deepnWith Louis Collins at her headnStacker Lee at her feetnThe angels laid them awaynnAnd out of Delia's bed came briarsnOut of Louis's bed a rosenOut of Stacker Lee's came Stacker Lee's cold lonely little ghostnAngels laid them awaynnAnd I'm looking over rooftopsnAnd I'm hoping that it ain't truenThat the same God looks out for them Looks out for me and younAngels laid them awaynAngels laid them awaynAngels laid them away
