[00:08.542]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

[04:09.716]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
