Folk Bloodbath - Josh Ritter
Lewis collins took a trip out west
When he returned little delia gone to rest
The angels laid
Her away
Lewis said to delia that's the sad thing with life
There's people always leaving just as other
Folks arrive
The angels laid her away
And when the people heard that Delia was dead
All of them gentlemen they dressed in red
The angels laid her away angels laid
Her away laid her six feet under the clay
The angels laid her away
Lewis went downtown for a new suit of clothe
She's gonna dress up for delia like a fine red rose
The angels laid him away
He bought ten gallon stetson
It was ox blood red and then stacker Lee shot
Lewis in the back of the head
The angels laid him away
Stacker lee said to Lewis
Oh now
Don't you grieve
I'm sending you to delia
You won't ever have
To leave
The angels laid him away
Angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay the angels laid him away
Oh judge was a mean one his name was hangin' billy
Lyon
She said you've always been a bad
Man stack you're gonna hang
This time
The angels lay you away
And the Jailer said to
Stacker lee what's the problem with you oh jailer Lewis collins
Ghost brought Delia's with him too
The angels laid him away
Angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Well they buried little Delia in the
Churchyard deep with lewis collins at her headstacker Lee at her feet
The angels laid them away
And out of Delia's bed
Came briars and out of Lewis' bed a rose
And out of stacker Lee's camestacker Lee's cold lonely little ghost
The angels laid them away
And I'm lookin' over rooftops and I'm hopin' that ain't true
That the same god looks out for them looks out
For me and you
The angels laid them away
The angels laid
Them away
The angels laid them away
