Louis collins


Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned,
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned,
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away
Oh, Bob shot once and Louis shot too,
shot poor Collins, shot him through and through
The angels laid him away
Oh, kind friends, oh, ain't it hard?,
to see poor Louis in a new graveyard
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead
all the people they dressed in red
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned,
to see her son Louis leavin' home
The angels laid him away
The angels laid him away,
they laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

Biografia

Mississippi John Hurt, born John Smith Hurt (Mississippi, March 8 or July 2, 1892 – New York, April 2, 1966), was an American singer and guitarist of folk blues music. His musical career began in the 1920s with performances in Mississippi venues. In 1928, he recorded his first discs for Paramount Records, achieving immediate success thanks to his unique style that blended traditional blues with elements of popular and country music. Hurt became famous for his original songs like "Avalon" and "Candy Man", but also for his interpretations of traditional blues tunes. His slide guitar, played with extraordinary skill, was characterized by a warm and rich sound. After a break from music in the 1930s, Hurt returned to prominence in the 1960s thanks to the folk-blues revival. He collaborated with artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, contributing to spreading his music to a wider audience. Mississippi John Hurt is considered one of the pioneers of modern blues and his style influenced generations of musicians.
