Текст песни «Josh Ritter - Folk Bloodbath»

Louis Collins took a trip out west
And when he returned little Deliaaad gone to rest
The angels laid her away
Louis said to Delia, aa"Thataas the sad thing with lifeaa
aa"People always leaving just as other folks arriveaa
The angels laid her away
When the people heard that Delia was dead
All them gentlemen they dressed in red
The angels laid her away

The angels laid her away
Laid her six feet under the clay
The angels laid her away

Louis went downtown for a new suit of clothes
Gonna dress up for Delia like a fine red rose
The angels laid him away
He brought a ten-gallon stetson it was oxblood red
Then Stackalee shot Louis in the back of the head
The angels laid him away
Stackalee said to Louis, aa"Oh now, donaat you grieveaa
aa"Iaam sending you to Delia you wonaat ever have to leaveaa
The angels laid him away

The angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay

The angels laid him away

The judge was a mean one, his name was aa"Hanginaa Billy Lyons
He said, aaYouaave always been a bad man, Stack, youaare gonna hang this timeaa
The angels laid him away
And the jailer said to Stackalee, aa"Whataas the problem with you?aa
aa"Oh, jailer, Louis Collins ghost brought Deliaaas with him tooaa
The angels laid him away

The angels laid him away
Laid him six feet under the clay
The angels laid him away

They buried little Delia in the churchyard deep
Louis Collins at her head, Stackalee at her feet
The angels laid them away
And out of Deliaaas bed came briars, out of Louisaa bed a rose
And out of Stackaleeaas came Stackaleeaas cold lonely little ghost
The angels laid them away
And Iaam looking over rooftops and Iaam hoping that it ainaat true
That the same God looked out for them looks out for me and you
The angels laid them away
