More tab from the acoustic guitar list. It would help if you could
just send an echo acknowledgement when you get these. Thanks,

An........gels laid him a.......way
Bob shot one and Louis shot two
but Barnes shot Collins, shot him through and through -
now angels have laid him away.
Chorus
When they heard that Louis was dead
all the people dressed in red,
'cos angels have laid him away.
Chorus
Oh, kind friends now ain't it hard
to see poor Louis in a new graveyard
where angels laid him away.
Chorus
Miz Collins weep, Miz Collins moan
to see your son Louis leave his home -
angels laid him away.
Chorus
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MISSISSIPPI JOHN HURT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
